HAR 2009: Hacking the Future of Science 2/10

Clip 2/10
Speaker: Michael Nielsen

Tools like email, preprint servers and Skype have changed the way scientists work. In this talk I argue that such networked tools are in their infancy, and there is enormous untapped potential for online tools to change the way scientific discoveries are made. I'll discuss very recent examples that show the way, like large-scale open source collaboration in mathematics, open notebook science, and online markets in scientific problems. This potential is only part of the story, however, for there are cultural barriers strongly inhibiting scientists from using online tools to their full potential. I'll describe these cultural barriers, and how they can be overcome.
