NSF Dr. Collins' NEON Talk Part 2: Changing Ways of Doing Science

Topics covered include: (1) The evolving role of science in national policy, and whether there is a role for the scientific community in the national dialog around climate, energy, and the environment. (2) The role of observation systems like NEON in the era of petabyte science, and how NEON, as a biological and geosciences facility, can enable advances in computational thinking, multi-scale thinking, and synthesizing biological systems at different scales. (3) How new enablement technologies will foster collaborative environments, and the cultural changes need to happen across universities, labs, and funding agencies.
