Science 2.0
VerifiedOnline/Digital
Science 2.0 was created in 2006 to modernize science communication, publishing, collaboration and public participation. In creating Science 2.0 we set out to accomplish the following:
Create a place where world-class scientists write articles and discuss issues without being filtered by size or editorial limitations, where there are no political or cultural agendas, and the audience can read great science directly from the sources and maybe learn some new things.
Create an infrastructure where actual collaboration can occur using customized tools.
Create an open publishing model. The old model of subscriptions is no longer viable, since government has taken control of academic research - taxpayers have paid for the research so they should be allowed to read it without paying. Open access, where the cost burden is shifted to scientists instead, is a good first step but Science 2.0 embraces a true open publishing model, where readers do not have to pay to read and scientists do not have to pay to publish.

Cyclosporiasis is an intestinal illness caused by the Cyclospora cayetanensis parasite and nearly always caused by fecal matter on produce - which means organic farms that use manure rather than modern scientific fertilizers. The US Centers for Disease Control has reports of cyclospora in 31 states which have caused 86 hospitalizations though thankfully no deaths so far.
American Science Isn't Being Harmed By Funding Cuts
If you had a way to save the world and the NIH refused to fund it, could it ever happen? What if both Science and Nature, which claim to be the most prominent journals in the world, refused to publish your study? A study you were giving them free and they could then copyright and sell? You might give up.
The US of Borg: Are Americans Taking Over Soccer?
Soccer purists have long feared the “Americanization” of the game. But in one key respect, it is already happening: ownership. Soccer purists have long feared the “Americanization” of the game. But in one key respect, it is already happening: ownership. Americans now own more than 40 European soccer clubs, including current English Premier League champion Arsenal, Italian Serie A champion Inter Milan and storied teams such as Manchester United and Liverpool.
Brain, AI And Cognition: A New Gold-Open-Access Journal
Am thrilled to report here that Scilight just launched a new gold open-access journal, "Brain, AI and Cognition", of which I am the editor in chief.
Review: Join 'The Traveler' And You Won't Regret It
What would you do if you disappeared, only to appear 24 hours later, with no memory of anything that happened and no change in you at all? And then the next day it happened again, except the time lapse doubled. What would your family do? I don't know about you, but my alibi would not hold up. If I disappeared for three days, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John had better be with me when I return, or the wife would rain down Hell on me.
You Didn't Feel Continental Mantle Earthquakes, But They Happened. A Lot
A 1979 seismic event was a different kind of earthquake, and it is has intrigued scientists ever since. A new look at old data has provided some additional answers. On Feb. 24th, 1979, seismographs recorded a magnitude 3.8 earthquake under Randolph, Utah, located near the Idaho and Wyoming borders. Yet no one felt a thing and the seismic data made no obvious sense. Because its focal depth was 50 miles below sea level, the hypocenter wasn't in Earth’s crust, it was well into the upper mantle.
Thousands Of Unpublished Studies Show Why Conservation Efforts Miss The Mark
Europe alone has so much unpublished, un-catalogued biological data that it is challenging to take surveys and estimates about extinction risk and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and the EU's claim it will protect 30 percent of land and sea by 2030 seriously. A new paper revealed government's don't even know what they are not protecting already. The work revealed 40 years of gathered but never published data on marine amphipods - crustaceans - just in Italy.
How To Overcome Leadership Battles
In times of social rancor and strife, most will fight each other, but societies are saved by those who think about the bigger issue. There is a lesson humans could learn from wasps. Polistes canadensis wasps are more like China than a democracy, so when their ruler dies, power struggles and social turmoil result. Amidst the violence and chaos, individuals compensate by helping the group rather than fighting each other.
Cyclone Cycles Increase Global Warming
A new computer estimate says that the ocean is an important carbon sink that absorbs 40 to 60 percent of China's anthropogenic CO2 emissions but tropical cyclones prevent the oceans from absorbing more. Understanding the impact of the ocean on sequestering carbon is important, because China builds two new coal plants each week and emits more pollution than the rest of the top 10 countries combined.
Boner Bears Chocolate Supplement Recalled Because It...Works
In 1994, United States President Bill Clinton fulfilled a campaign promise to his constituents by exempting supplements from any real FDA oversight. Scientists objected on the grounds that heavy marketing of alternatives to medicine would undermine confidence in actual medicine.(1) Strangely, despite Republicans being in power three times since then, only President Bush undid one of those things - he gave NIH a fantastic boost in funding.
