If we want to keep the scientific enterprise moving, it needs to happen. Or the bubble will burst with unforeseeable consequences. - Björn Brembs

put it on your blog; there's some chance the reviewers will see it. - RepoRat

Yet another crowdfunding site for research. Looks interesting so far. - Daniel Mietchen from Bookmarklet

amazing editorial board !! - Graham Steel

"this is the actual pipeline we ourselves ran to produce the figures in the paper. All the data is there, and all of the code used to process the data, analyze the results, and produce the figures is also there. In version control." - Daniel Mietchen

The Open Science version of "shut up and calculate"? - Bill Hooker

And by saying "The evidence is largely anecdotal" it completely misses that there is a huge body of evidence the author could have cited. They clearly don't know what they're talking about. This editorial comes only days after our manuscript reviewing said literature was rejected by Nature with the reason: "we feel we have aired many of these issues already in our pages recently"... - Björn Brembs

Bjorn, good to know about this experience, thanks for sharing. Very frustrating re: your manuscript. Good luck with it as you submit to the next place! - Heather Piwowar

"If you ever write a review article, EndNote might explode." - Catherine Pellegrino

"Your paper will be peer reviewed, so include flattering descriptions of all of your peers. Scientists call these “shout-outs” or “mad props.”" - jambina

We have a paper coming up where the data and the code (in R) will be public. I'll test it! - Björn Brembs

Awesome! - Steve Koch from Android

As a child I was very clear I wanted to be a scientist. I am not sure exactly where the idea came from. I part I blame Isaac Azimov but it must have been a combination of things. I can't remember not having a clear idea of wanting to go into research. I started off ... - Cameron Neylon

"Hebrew University releases initial 2,000 documents including unseen letters, postcards and research notes. (...) Only 900 manuscript images, and an incomplete catalogue listing just half of the archive's contents, had been available online since 2003. Now, with a grant from the Polonsky Foundation UK, which previously helped digitise Isaac Newton's papers, all 80,000 items from the Einstein collection have been catalogued and enhanced with cross referencing technology. (...) The collection includes 14 notebooks filled with research notes in small cursive handwriting, letters to Einstein's contemporaries on his physics research, and a handwritten explanation of his theory of relativity and its summarising equation e=mc2. It also includes lesser-known papers, including a postcard to his ailing mother, private correspondence with his lovers, and a pile of fanmail Einstein received about his wild hairdo. (...) In another note, a researcher wrote: "I'm making a scientific survey to... more... - Amira from Bookmarklet

They're too busy adding value. - Bill Hooker

Yeah, if only. Disgusted that publishers whine about LaTeX - dealing with *documents* is their %$^ing job - Rajarshi Guha
