In this episode I am talking to a member of a very peculiar profession, a librarian with a rich professional and life experience. We tackle an important stuggle that modern scientists are facing which is how we can share our findings frictionlessly. Scientific and open acess publishing give a lot of headaches to contemporary researchers and we are trying to approach and understand the complexity of this topic. We also discuss the tremendous amount of work that is behind a scientific discovery and the challenge to reckognize everyone who is invloved in the process. Finaly we also bring in the things that are spice of life such as music and runing. 

Frank Norman is a recently retired librarian of the Francis Crick Institute. He has over 35 years of experience in biomedical library and information work, including 25 years running the Library & Information Service at NIMR, Mill Hill. He transferred to the Crick in 2015. He has been an active member of the committees of the CHILL and RESCOLINC library groups and is now a member of the UKSG Education Subcommittee and the bioRxiv Advisory Group. He takes a strong interest in open science and scholarly communication, and the interplay with science communication and social media.

I hope this conversation showcases the complexity of the scientific endavour and brings to your awarness the current stuggles and challenges we are facing.
