A physicist turned writer, Michael Nielsen believes online communication and collaboration tools are revolutionizing the way we make scientific discoveries.

An institute focused on development of the mind. They emphasise collaboration between all disciplines crossing boundaries and supporting innovation. 

came across this today...thought i share with the group

Good if albeit short article on collaboration and its benefits.

The goal of NCHA research is to identify biological factors that determine good health at old age. NCHA integrates scientific disciplines, technological innovations and biomedical research in the largest collection of world-renowned human cohort studies. Rooted in the EU, NCHA has become a global player by large collaborative efforts with excellent scientific output.

This doesn't just show the growth of mobile. it shows the growth of gaming platforms, where gaming will grow and how gaming will become ubiquitous.  it also shows how the ability to share our message and tools is growing year on year alng with the potential for collaboration

When we have developed an authoritative, open-authorship atlas, I see these groups as contributors helping to do some of the heavy lifting in the medical animation department. If they don't want to collaborate let them compete. Perhaps I'm being assumptive, but so single company can compete with the world working together freely.

This is a preview profile on BiomedExperts - the first literature-based scientific social network. It brings the right researchers together and allows them to collaborate online. Elsevier Inc. provides the BiomedExperts network of +1.8 Million pre-calculated profiles free of charge to researchers worldwide.

Virtual tools that enable  enthusiasts to collaborate on solving problems are an amazing and extremely useful resource that we should be using more of.

A fscinating look into the nature of change and life. I'd consider this a version of evolution but at the scale of an individual and its life instead of a species.

You can play with that brain image. The top-right gives an alphabetic list of items. That will expand over the whole width of the top once it is being operated. And the bar underneath makes the brain turn round as on a turn-table; clockwise and anti-clockwise.

hmm. Is java a viable 3d toolkit? including this as a reference to stijulate the discussion. I'm yet to be convinced. 

... global collaboration ...

This very cool... much like Google Wave... so now we can all work on a Google doc with real time commentary..only works for new documents ... check out the video on the link

Our technology transforms the way you work, create, and collaborate. The era of one human, one mouse, one screen, one machine is giving way to what's next: multiple participants, working in proximity and remotely, using a groundbreaking spatial interface to control applications and data spread across every display. This is what Oblong builds. It's why we're here.

I wonder if we could use this or similar work in parsing the info once we go live with the crowd sourcing.
