The First Day

(If I seem to have food on the brain, it's because we seem to be constantly eating!)

A full programme today, with Prof Wieland Gevers, who spoke about the SciElo (the Scientific Electronic Library Online) and the South African journals that have been included in his overview of research. More South African journals will be added in due course. Maryna van den Heever (Wits) and Cyrill Walter (UCT) spoke about their RCL experiences. John Tosh speaking on why history matters and touched on what academic historians can offer the wider public. Dr Zeblon Vilakazi from iThemba Labs spoke about the work and research in accelerator based sciences.
A full day with lots to think about.
