Last run through of my talk for #OpenFest tomorrow, pretty much bang on an hour so I'm going to have to speak fast and attempt to not go off track.

Hopefully it'll be an enjoyable, if general, overview of EDI issues in Open Research. I hope you'll come along!

Today marks the anniversary of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s death — a reminder of how his visionary poetry (Kubla Khan, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner) still shapes the way we imagine nature, myth, and the mind.
