Please see this message from Xenia Schmalz, who organized the ... ##OPEN SCIENCE BEERS in Munich Openness in Science is a hot topic which is relevant for different areas of science. The monthly event aims to bring together scientists across fields for informal conversations about Open Science. The main goal is to bring together like-minded people. However, we also welcome newcomers to Open Science or researchers who are curious or skeptical and want to discuss pros and cons of Open Science. The meetings will start in the new semester (after April 9th). The events will be coordinated using both a Google group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/open-science-beers-munich) and a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/213613219386227/). On both of these, I will post information about upcoming meetings, and members can post specific questions or topics for conversation that they would like to bring up at the next meeting. Please sign up to the Google group and/or the Facebook page if you are interested in attending this event, or also if you would just like to be kept up-to-date about upcoming meetings. The event will take place on a monthly basis. The day of the week and the time will be determined by Doodle poll; link: https://doodle.com/poll/6mu5as8xhh2wbfeg. Please vote in the poll only if you would like to come on a regular basis. The location of the event is to be determined. I would welcome suggestions for places in Munich that (1) are easily accessible, also for people who might be coming from different cities, (2) have good acoustics to enable conversation, and (3) have good beer! ---  http://www.osc.lmu.de/
