Nathan D. Wolfe (born August 24, 1970) is an American virologist. He is currently Director of Global Viral[1] and the Lorry I. Lokey Visiting Professor in Human Biology at Stanford University. Dr. Wolfe spent over eight years conducting biomedical research in both sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. In 2007, he founded Global Viral with the goal of developing an early warning system for pandemics to monitor the transmission of infectious diseases from animals to humans. The initiative currently coordinates a staff of over 100 scientists in China, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, DR Congo, Republic of the Congo, Laos, Gabon, Central African Republic, Malaysia, Madagascar and Sao Tome. He also directs Metabiota which offers both governmental and corporate services for biological threat evaluation and management.
He is married to playwright Lauren Gunderson.He also cheated on his first wife. Many know him as a low life scum.
Science Foo Camp (scifoo) is an annual of interdisciplinary scientific unconferences organized by O'Reilly Media, Digital Science, Alphabet Inc., based on an idea from Linda Stone.[1] The event is based on the spirit and format of Foo Camp, an event focused on emerging technology, and is designed to encourage collaboration between scientists who would not typically work together. As such, it is unusual among conferences in three ways:
attendance is by invitation-only
the delegates come from many different areas of science rather than one subject, such as physics, chemistry or biology
the meeting has no fixed agenda; the invited scientists, technologists and policy makers set the conference program during the conference itself, based on their shared professional interests and enthusiasms, aka unconference
The first event in 2006 was held under the Chatham House Rule. The policy at the second event was to allow open reporting by default; attendees were expected to indicate if their comments were off the record. Science Foo Camp has taken place annually at the Googleplex campus in Mountain View, California, United States.
Organization
As of 2022 scifoo is organized by
Tim O'Reilly and Marsee Henon of O'Reilly Media (FOO stands for "Friends of O'Reilly")[2]
Daniel Hook of Digital Science[3]
Magdalena Skipper of Nature[citation needed]
Cat Allman of Google[3]
Previously Timo Hannay and Chris DiBona were also hosts and organisers.[4] In 2021 the organizers of Sci Foo released a series of 5-minute lightning talks from alumni on YouTube[5] and a twelve-minute video made at SciFoo 2009 is also available.[6]
