Shades of the Shirky Symposium Keynote?
At first glance this might seem frightening to the layman, but think about it: knowledgeable, trained doctors using an additional but social source to find information that augments peer reviewed journals.
I wonder how much time doctors have to devote to research in peer reviewed journals. Maybe they get to read JAMA. When Andrew needs to look up something medical, he often starts with Wikipedia or PubMed and then digs deeper from there.
Honestly, there is already a lot on my plate with teaching and research; however, I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to work with Cole Camplese, Allan Gyorke, Brad Kozlek, and the rest of the TLT folks. (Note: Cole is a definite ‘early adopter’ and teaches a very popular course at Penn State on disruptive technologies.)
