Science is one of the noblest and most sublime of human endeavours, transcending the distinctions of nationality, language, culture, race, gender, religion, political affiliation, or any number of other ways in which we human beings categorise ourselves. Science is universal. While not everyone has access to particle accelerators or other instruments of science, anyone can aspire to increase human knowledge and better our understanding of the world within his or her own means.
This blog and this website are my contributions to the open notebook science movement. I strongly believe that modern communication technologies will dramatically change (and in fact have already been dramatically changing) the way science is done and disseminated. Many more people have access to scientific information than ever before, and at the same time, science policy at the highest levels of government have the potential to affect the lives of everyone in the world. Science is no longer the enterprise of an elite few, but the common heritage and responsibility of every person on the planet — and we can no longer afford for it not to be open.
