Debate held by Index on Censorship to launch the new Science Issue on 6 December at Imperial College in London. As scientific data is more freely available now than ever, the panel, which included Sir Mark Walport, director of the Wellcome Trust, George Monbiot, Guardian Columnist, UCL Professor David Colquhoun, and Philosopher Baroness Onora O'Neill, discussed whether or not a push for more freely available scientific data helps or hinders science. Chaired by Jo Glanville, editor of Index on Censorship.

    How so?

  • Deluded wankers!.

  • Good debate. Open Code is the other big issue in modern science by the way - software source code released under a liberal license. When this is also made available interested others can track how the data have been transformed with less need to bother the authors. The two should always be mentioned in the same breath as reproducibility of modern science is considered, as Professor Stephen Emmott of Oxford emphasized well at the Royal Society event on the subject at the Southbank Centre in June.
