OSR030 Open Events in Science - Unseminars in Germany and South Africa [EN]

In the world of scientific events conferences are the classic event
format. However, there are many others and currently we can see
more modern and more open formats evolve - science slams,
hackathons, unconferences or unseminars. We have invited two
scientists who have initiated unseminars to their scientific
surroundings (both in the field of bioinformatics). Natasha Wood
organizes an unseminar series in Cape Town, while Aidan Budd is
actively involved in an unseminar series in Heidelberg. As our
German listeners will know we had Aidan already as a guest and
spoke with him about the HUB (Heidelberg Unseminars in
Bioinformatics). With this episode we want to widen the horizon,
not only by looking to South Africa, but also by doing this episode
in English and also touching slightly other topics.
