escience2019

In the 15th year of the eScience conference, it’s time to look back to the start and look forward to where we should head. In this talk, I will discuss what eScience has meant, what I think it now means, and why our current names are problematic. There’s even a small chance I’ll propose a better name. In addition, no matter what we call eScience, there are some aspects we can improve, specifically communication and credit. I’ll talk about specific problems with these aspects as well as potential improvements.
