Paul Shannon

A scientific conference but all submissions are in the form of a preprint at any stage of the research cycle (maybe collected in its own BioRxiv channel)— the meeting is presentation/discussion of all sorts that is essentially a peer review hackathon resulting in public comments on the preprints. -Same IRL fun and networking benefits -Participants also benefit from early stage broader sharing benefiting from collective feedback/improvement of the work -Inclusive beyond the meeting since proceedings are public We may never turn an existing meeting into this but definitely can start a new way of doing things at small scale that is so fun and useful that it becomes less appealing to do it the old way

Time to get out the board games
