Hi Everyone,
At the time of this post I am currently attending New Zealand eResearch 2018, in Queenstown.
There is a lot of interesting talks about genomics, data compute and data sciences.
BlockChain on eResearch
This is the first time BlockChain gets to a eResearch conference in New Zealand. Presented by myself in a "lightening talk" type of presentation and with the main idea of broadcasting the technology, I have also tried to understand what are the main interests, if any, or what the research community perceives of it.
My view
So far, my conclusion is not far away from what I was guessing, but it was still interesting to know that more and more people is now using more often the "bitcoin" buzz word on their presentations. So definitively slowly becoming a known area. Although there much to work to be done in regards to clarify what the technology can provide, where and how can you use it.
I leave you with a list of all presentations and the abstracts:

Once possible I will add some more comments around what I mostly liked.
If you are around let me know.
