This week, my University of Innsbruck hosted the conference on “Enhancing the voice of science on Wikipedia: How universities can collaborate with the online encyclopedia in science communication”. I had the honor to deliver the opening keynote on “Science (Communication) and Wikipedia: Potentials and Pitfalls”. In this talk, I offer some thoughts on the following questions:
- How ‘scientific’ is Wikipedia?
- How important is science for Wikipedia?
- How important is Wikipedia for science?
- How important is Wikipedia for our common knowledge?
- What are potentials when science communication meets Wikipedia?
- What are the pitfalls?
- Is it worth it?
The slides are available over at Slideshare.

Living up to its name, the CIS offers es a podcast feed of its speaker series via iTunes (Feed), where an audio version of my presentation and the following discussion (including comments from Larwence Lessig) is available. This great service leaves me with offering the slides (PDF) and an iTunes-free mp3-download (9,64 MB) of the talk.
