Science 2.0 - introduction and perspectives for Poland « Freelancing science - 0 views

  • transcript of Science 2.0 based on a presentation I gave on conference on open science organized in Warsaw earlier this month
  • prepared for mixed audience and focused on perspectives for Poland
  • new forms of communication between scientists
  • ...44 more annotations...
  • research become meaningful only after confronting results with the scientific community
  • peer-reviewed publication is the best communication channel we had so far
  • new communication channels complement peer-reviewed publication
  • two important attributes in which they differ from traditional models: openness and communication time
  • increased openness and shorter communication time happens already in publishing industry (via Open Access movement and experiments with alternative/shorter ways of peer-review)
  • say few words about experiments that go little or quite a lot beyond publication
  • My Experiment as an example of an important step towards openness
  • least radical idea you can find in modern Science 2.0 world
  • virtual research environment
  • focus is put on sharing scientific workflows
  • use case
  • diagram of the “methods” sections from experimental (including bioinformatics analyses) publications
  • make it easier for others to understand what we did
  • can open towards other scientists we can also open towards non-experts
  • people from all over the world compete in improving structural models of proteins
  • helps in improving protein structure prediction software and in understanding protein folding
  • combine teaching and data annotation
  • metagenome sequences in first case and chemistry spectra in the second
  • interactive visualizations of chemical structures, genomes, proteins or multidimensional data
  • communicate some difficult concepts faster
  • new approaches in conference reporting
  • report in real time from the conference
  • followed by a number of people, including even the ones that were already on the conference
  • “open notebook science” which means conducting research using publicly available, immediately updated laboratory notebook
  • The reason I did a model for Cameron’s grant was that I subscribed to his feed before
  • I didn’t subscribe to Cameron because I knew his professional profile
  • I read his blog, I commented on it and he commented on mine, etc.
  • participation in online communities
  • important part of Science 2.0 is the fact that it has human face
  • PhDs about the same time
  • first was from a major Polish institute, the second from a major European one
  • what a head of a lab both would apply to will see
  • gap we must fill, this is between current research and lectures we give today
  • access to real-time scientific conversation
  • follow current research and decide what is important to learn
  • synthetic biology
  • not all universities in world have synthetic biology courses
  • didn’t stop these students, and they plan to participate in IGEM again
  • not only scientists – there are librarians, science communicators, editors from scientific journals, people working in biotech industry
  • community of life scientists
  • even people without direct connection to science
  • diverse skills and background
  • online conference
  • interact with them and to learn from them

Main Page - Open Bioinformatics Foundation - 0 views

  •  
    The Open Bioinformatics Foundation or O|B|F is a non profit, volunteer run organization focused on supporting open source programming in bioinformatics. The foundation grew out of the volunteer projects BioPerl, BioJava and BioPython and was formally incorporated in order to handle our modest requirements of hardware ownership, domain name management and funding for conferences and workshops.The Foundation does not participate directly in the development or structure of the open source work, but as the members of the foundation are drawn from the member projects, there is clear commonality of direction and purpose. Occasionally the O|B|F directors may make announcements about our direction or purpose (a recent one was on the licensing of academic software) when the board feels there is a need to clarify matters, but in general we prefer to remain simply the administrative support organization for our member projects. Our main activities are: * Underwriting and supporting the BOSC conferences * Organizing and supporting developer-centric "hackathon" events * Managing our servers, colocation facilities, bank account & other assets We are incorporated in the state of Delaware, USA as a not-for-profit company.

    This semantic wiki at OpenResearch.org aims at making the world of science more visible and accessible. Everybody can add his favorite events (e.g. conferences and workshops), co-workers, tools / datasets, community fora or journals. Pooled together these pieces of information constitute a vast knowledge base about who and what moves science forward.

SciPy - - 0 views

    SciPy (pronounced "Sigh Pie") is open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. It is also the name of a very popular conference on scientific programming with Python. The SciPy library depends on NumPy, which provides convenient and fast N-dimensional array manipulation. The SciPy library is built to work with NumPy arrays, and provides many user-friendly and efficient numerical routines such as routines for numerical integration and optimization. Together, they run on all popular operating systems, are quick to install, and are free of charge. NumPy and SciPy are easy to use, but powerful enough to be depended upon by some of the world's leading scientists and engineers. If you need to manipulate numbers on a computer and display or publish the results, give SciPy a try!
