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
