Show ability to cut a specific, single region of human genome. Probably an incredibly useful technology, related to what Cameron was telling us about last week. Linked to me by F1000 and reviewed there by Scott K Silverman - Steve Koch

"Boing Boing Video proudly debuts "Meet The Elements," a new animated music video from They Might Be Giants. This animated, upbeat ode to the periodic table of elements and how they form our world, appears on the new TMBG kids' album "Here Comes Science."

I sent this whole set to my kid's elementary science teacher -- she has to buy the CD b/c the school's internet blocks Youtube -- but I had a great 45 minutes listening to them. I also really liked the one about the sun. - Mickey Schafer

cool, going to look for the rest of the album, only heard this song so far. would be nice if students and teachers could use more free internet resources, glad they got access to interesting media like this in the end :) - Mike Chelen

Was an awesome day. Thank you so much for traveling and spending time with us today, Cameron! I learned a lot about science and means for carrying out open science. I'm energized about what seems like a very nice future protein-DNA collaboration. And I'm also energized about trying to implement some of the LaBlog and Google wave things you demoed for us. - Steve Koch

I agree it was a great visit. I enjoyed showing you the version of the $100 spectrometer I'm working on and all the great conversation. I hope KochLab can start a collaboration with our friends across the pond. - Andy Maloney from iPhone

I think I'm going to put some nuggets of information from today onto this thread. Here is a link to the Neylon, Ward, Towrie, and Parker Tus-Ter single-molecule proposal (linked in Cameron's open notebook; see PDF at the bottom): http://blogs.chem.soton.ac.uk/sortase...

Cameron showed us some of the robots he and others have programmed for Google Wave. I learned that it's not crazily complicated to write a robot, and that you can use Google App Engine (http://code.google.com/appengi...) to host your code and run the robot. It currently runs Python and now Java. I still don't understand how it connects with Wave, but it solves a mystery to me of... more... - Steve Koch

(Coincidentally (or maybe not), right after waving with Cameron, Google Wave gave me my 20 invites to send out. Let me know if you need one!) - Steve Koch

I'm sure Cameron and others have already said this in their many fantastic presentations and blog posts about wave.

That's wonderful that Cameron visited your lab Steve! For all the usefulness of communication technologies nothing can replace a productive meatspace interaction. - Jean-Claude Bradley

I had a great time - meeting and talking with Koch and the team. Lots of very cool stuff going on and lots of ideas that just seemed to bubble out of it. The meatspace interaction is really important but having that bit of background about what was going on and the context and trust built up here on Friendfeed amongst other places makes the whole discussion a lot quicker and more interesting. - Cameron Neylon

Agree -- pre-meeting definitely made the in-person meeting very quick to start off. & @Peter Miller, sent the invite - Steve Koch

Went into my garage looking for a textbook. Haven't found it, but found an '87-'88 Slauson Exodus middle school yearbook. Hilarious! Thinking I can probably make some money off this, agreeing not to post certain photos etc. Just to remove myself from the equation, I'm chunky with hair parted down the middle.

"The peculiar demands of our granting system have favoured an upper class of skilled scientists who know how to raise money for a big group... They have mastered a glass bead game that rewards not only quality and honesty, but also salesmanship and networking." I agree with much in this article. Some years back I constructed a list of papers I especially admired, and was surprised to discover that with only a few exceptions they were produced from unfunded research. This was sobering, since it suggest that receiving research grants was (at least according to my judgement of scientific quality) anticorrelated with doing work of the highest quality. Grants seem to be good at sustaining an established area, but not very good at all at producing the conceptual innovations that start new subfields. - Michael Nielsen

It's very clear that some scientists are just really good at getting money - good salesmen I guess, like you say. They are not always the best scientists yet seem to do well in the jobs market, as universities love scientists who bring in money. - Sarah Kendrew

"She looked for a job in science publishing or in the granting agencies—both of which, ironically, offer better working conditions and much better security of employment than research." - Duncan Hull

Depressing - Rajarshi Guha

@Rajarshi Good to see the issues given a higher profile though... - Duncan Hull

@Duncan, oh absolutely. The idea of long contracts (5 - 7 years) makes sense. But these approaches will really require systemic changes - even if I could get by with small amounts of money (say for 1 student), the university won't like the fact that I'm not bringing in gobs of money to pay for electricity - Rajarshi Guha

I agree with Duncan that although the situation is depressing (and quite accurately represented in there), seeing it gain higher profile is refreshing. - Daniel Mietchen

Pushing these issues more and more is vital if we want things to change - even if we don't agree on the solutions, awareness of the problems is a prerequisite for change. - Björn Brembs

Interesting that similar sentiments have been expressed earlier in engineering. See my write-up Individual and Empire in Academics (on a research article) http://unrulednotebook.wordpress.com/2008... - Arunn

To be nitpicky, I'm afraid that the following suggestion is as open to abuse and laziness as the current one: "Everyone should get slotted into a funding category and assessed every five years. If you're productive, you get five more years of resources. If productivity is down, you are moved down a category. If it is high, you can apply to move up.

Hmm. can't write English today. The suggested improvement to the system is subject to abuse, as much so as the current system - dead wood will be carried along. No room will be made for younger people moving up the ranks. And I meant "effective". - Heather

Lest we forget: http://www.nytimes.com/2008...: "Trained as a biochemist, Dr. Prasher, 57, was interested in the chemistry of how certain animals are able to glow. In the late 1980s, he applied to the National Institutes of Health for a five-year grant to track down the fluorescent protein gene...'I knew it could serve as a genetic marker and it would be really, really useful, which it has turned out to be.'

"It doesn't matter if the book is for lay persons or professionals, the science has to be correct. And saying that all viruses integrate their genomes into that of the cell doesn't help anyone. Dendritic cells take up antigens and particulate matter; their ability to take up entire viruses is a matter of debate and should not be included in a lay book. Exactly what scientists do understand needs to be distilled for everyone but in a correct manner." - Vincent Racaniello

I think it would be a good idea to reach out to as many different sectors as possible. Software is a key element of Open Science, but it's not always clear how commercial software might fit in. F/OSS is a much more intuitive fit. That said, there are companies like Mendeley whose products might find application in Open or closed workflows, and the thing about Open Foo is that people are always thinking of stuff that would never have occurred to me! - Bill Hooker

I think software also benefits from open data. There are any number of example of open data leading to commercial innovation, so it's not necessarily a bad fit - Deepak Singh

Hope, Science Commons does not seek to address open source software per se. Creative Commons is all about data and content, which, IMO, is even more important an issue for science. - Deepak Singh

Any philosophical issues are secondary to ensuring interoperability of code, data, materials, and process. But ensuring that does take us into issues around licensing etc. - Cameron Neylon

Hi, gentlemen. Thank you for your comments. As I read Deepak's and Cameron's comments, it sounds like there is even more of a need for the proposed conference in that discussion of such issues such licensing etc. could be addressed and elucidated in a manner potentially helpful to scientists (and to librarians, who need to be brought into the discussions more).
