Chris Surridge, Managing Editor, PLoS ONE
Open to the Public
2pm, Friday October 20, 2006
MIT Stata Center, 32-141
Part of OpenWetWare's Seminar Series on Open Science

http://openwetware.org/wiki/Seminar_Series

Talk Overview
Dr. Surridge is helping start PLoS ONE, an effort to democratize
scientific contribution, access, review, and merit. This exciting new
journal publishes scientifically sound research regardless of
subjective criteria such as "likely impact" or "reader interest".
Following publication, readers comment, annotate, and rate each paper,
adding value to the work as time goes on. Dr. Surridge will talk of the
progress to date, and the challenges that lie ahead.

Biography
Adapted from the PLoS Website:
Christopher Surridge graduated with a degree in Biophysics from Leeds
University in 1988 and went on to study the dynamics of microtubule
assembly at Imperial College London. After a couple of years of
post-doc research he moved into scientific publishing as Assistant
Editor on Nature Structural Biology in December 1993. In 1995 he moved
onto the editorial team at Nature where he handled an eclectic mix of
subject areas mainly focusing on biophysics, mathematical and systems
biology, and plant science. He also spent some time editing Nature's
Brief Communication section which has never fully recovered. By
mid-2005 the allure of reshaping scientific publishing to satisfy the
needs of a new century became irresistible and he moved to PLoS's
Cambridge office working on a new project called PLoS ONE to be
launched in 2006.
