“At such a difficult moment, there are those whosay we cannot afford to invest in science, thatsupport for research is somehow a luxury atmoments defined by necessities. I fundamentallydisagree. Science is more essential for ourprosperity, our security, our health, ourenvironment, and our quality of life than it has everbeen before.”

President Barack Obama, April 27

We are inspired by the potential ofscience to improve the state of the world

and we make media and technology tohelp realize that potential.

“The entire archive of sciencepublishing should be open­access and

online. But this will be the outcome ofa slow political and value realignment inscience… Researchers should get in thehabit of posting data on their websites.”

Bosco Ho, PostDoc in Bioinformatics, USA

Page 28: Opening adambly

84%Believe that scientific papers should be freely available to other scientists and the public

“It is difficult to find information onfunding, people, meetings, etc… every

organization has their own webresources, and there are no centralized

sources of information, or they areincomplete.”

Emilio Perez, PostDoc in Chemistry, Spain

“I have colleagues in Australia, England,U.S., Kenya, and China, and without

collaborative web tools we could neverwork on anything together, since phone

calls are still too expensive.”David Braun, PostDoc in Archaeology, South Africa

“As a grad student, we had a websiterelated to our research. We posted somegeneral info about our research. But the

coolest thing we did was stream real­time data (eg. pH, temperature) from a

remote observing system onto the site.”Brett Branco, PostDoc in Environmental Science, Australia

“Blogs are a great way to open yournotebook to the world or just the

lab. They’re rich, accessible fromanywhere, and automatically backed up.

From a social perspective, they’re theroot of your identity on the web: theplace where you communicate your

thoughts and receive communication24/7 from anyone in the world.”

William Gunn, PhD Student in Cell Biology, USA

34%Use blogs to promote their research, discuss publications, or serve as lab notebooks

“The Research Web is about integratinglots of stuff that wasn’t designed to be

integrated with anything. It’s aboutgetting precise answers to complicated

questions instead of a mess of Webpages. It’s about making the user

experience for research on the Webmore like, well, the Web for other stuff.”

John Wilbanks, Science Commons
