Experiments in sharing research
 
 

Most of the ways we share our research are stuck in 20th Century formats. This is true both of how we share our research with each other, and how we share it with the rest of the world. I will talk about some experiments I am undertaking in using more modern formats to share research. There is Cosmology Talks and associated miniworkshops (an attempt to modernise the departmental seminar). There is Cosmology from Home (an attempt to bring a decent conference experience to the online world). There is "The Cosmology Wiki" (an attempt to make technical cosmology discourse shareable and discoverable). And I have also begun a business making interactive web apps that give users intuitive understanding of fundamental research concepts that would otherwise require years of study
