This will be an online Zoom meeting.  Please RSVP on our Meetup for this event to get access to the Zoom link.  See our online meeting instructions at: https://torontooasis.org/online-meeting-instructions

Our program will run from 11 am to 12:30 pm. You can join the meeting starting at 10:30 am for our open social. After 12:30 pm, we will also have an extended discussion for half an hour, until 1:00 pm.

We will be watching and then discussing a YouTube video by Dr. Rohin Francis, a cardiologist and YouTuber who runs the YouTube channel known as Medlife Crisis. This video offers a critique of the academic publishing industry, specifically describing how it hinders public access to scientific knowledge. An intro and outro for this video will be provided by Toronto Oasis organizer Ryan Zhang.
