A few months ago, I attended a Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop on "Engineering Academic Software". The report from that workshop is now available online, DOI 10.4230/DagRep.6.6.62.
On 16 February 2016, I gave a keynote address at the Chais Conference 2016 with the title "Citizen Science: Learning to effectively contribute in virtual organizations". A recording of the talk is available on YouTube if you don't see if below.
