Ep05 - Open Source in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Glasgow with Dr Bernd Porr
We're joined by Dr Bernd Porr from the Engineering school of Glasgow University to discuss how and why he has introduced open source to his Biomedical Engineering students. We talk about the importance of teaching open source, especially those not in computer science studies, as well as what would encourage universities to implement more open source education. We also delve into how open source has benefited the neuroscience community with The Human Brain Project and Dr Porr's own contributions of the mapping of the limbic systems – plus I learn a few things about the reward system in Rats. Lastly talk about the University's support of open source by other departments, what advice he would give to contributors and Dr Porr's (many amazing) personal projects.
