David Smith
After he received his D.Phil from the University of York David decided to trade life as a scientist for a life in publishing. His introduction to scholarly publishing came in the late 90s via Vitek Tracz at Current Science Group and then BioMed Central. Fast-forward to 2022 and David has been at the Institution of Engineering and Technology (The IET) for the last nine years, where he is Head of Technology Strategy. He’s been proud to sit on the ALPSP Awards for Innovation in Publishing Judging Panel for the last few years. He’s not on Facebook, but he does tweet via @drs1969
