Going from Alzheimer's to Pandemics: Bringing FLOSS to Bio Testing

Name: Going from Alzheimer's to Pandemics: Bringing FLOSS to Bio Testing
Duration: 15 min 7 s
Description: Tom Cirrito discusses bringing free and open source software principles to biological testing, drawing a line from Alzheimer's research to pandemic preparedness, at Devcon 7. The talk argues that open, auditable testing tools and protocols could accelerate both fields by letting researchers build on each other's validated methods rather than repeating closed, proprietary testing pipelines.
