It is built on Paul Mutton's PircBot Java-based Framework. mobibot is making extensive use of various open source libraries, including: * Commons CLI * Commons HTTPClient * Commons Logging * Commons Net * delicious-java * Google Tag Library * JWeather * MathEvaluator * Rome * Apache XML-RPC * Twitter4J mobibot was written by Erik C. Thauvin as a replacement for the channel's original ChumpBot. Features mobibot's main functionality is to capture URLs posted on the channel. The URLs are automatically gathered into a publishable RSS feed. Other features include: * Performing calculations * Converting between currencies * Rolling dice * Performing Google searches * Displaying the latest entries on Mobitopia * Performing DNS lookups * Recapping public channel messages * Performing Google spelling queries * Retrieving stock quotes * Displaying the time in various time zones * Listing the users on the channel * Displaying weather information * Posting to Jaiku's #mobitopia channel * Posting to Twitter Some of the internal features include RSS feed backlogs, rolling logs, debugging toggle and much more. If you have any feature suggestions, please post them to the mobibot wiki.

  • 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
