A reminder of the workshop in this year's Cambridge Science Festival, on 23 March.

https://www.sciencefestival.cam.ac.uk/events/sciencesource-workshop-how-do-scientific-discoveries-become-clinical-medicine

is the official page. And

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/how-do-scientific-discoveries-become-clinical-medicine-festival-workshop-tickets-56499051183

is the signup page.

I've just added the programme to the Eventbrite page:

"The workshop will be divided into three sections.

From 1000 to 1300 there will be an introduction to systematic reviews and evidence-based medicine, somewhat unconventional and from a data angle. We’ll work with a seven-factor view of how the quality gap between scientific discovery and medical knowledge is bridged.

A lunch will be provided, from 1300 to 1340. At 1340 there will be a 50-minute general interest talk, as advertised on the official Festival page. It will be directed towards lay folk with an interest in searching the medical literature online.

From 1430 the workshop will continue, with a look at “Prospects”, picking up on themes from the first section with emphasis on the application of the Semantic Web, in particular Wikidata, in the areas of review literature and lay search."

This is a ScienceSource event, but overall more on the medical side. The afternoon section will be broadening out on the Wikidata side, otherwise known as WikiCite, MEDRS and so on. Hope to see some of you there.
