Science Commons



How cool is this? MIT's Science Commons project brings scientific research to everyone by attempting to streamline and free up information previously caught up in data limbo. Sharing research data can be a long and frustrating process which has probably retarded the development of any number of scientific discoveries. Sharing is awesome.

  1. That's just beautiful. So perfectly the essence of scientific inquiry, the innate human drive to understand our world, free from concerns about who owns what and whose name will be first on the paper and who'll get credit.
