DESCRIPTION:
. He lives in Toronto. He is an essayist, speaker, and advocate of open science. Michael Nielsen is one of the pioneers of quantum computing
And even for those who have thought about such issues already, the book will stimulate further thinking."--Joerg Heber, All That Matters blog"Michael Nielsen makes the case for the wisdom of very smart crowds in an optimistic argument for the way a wired world can change the way science works. With Reinventing Discovery, Nielsen provides an important foundation for moving forward."--Stephen M. In all sorts of examples, from a Garry Kasparov v the world chess game, to mathematicians and astronomers combining to solve problems he shows how the internet can increase the
We learn how 250,000 amateur astronomers are working together in a project called Galaxy Zoo to understand the large-scale structure of the Universe, and how they are making astonishing discoveries, including an entirely new kind of galaxy. In Reinventing Discovery, Michael Nielsen argues that we are living at the dawn of the most dramatic change in science in more than 300 years. These efforts are just a small part of the larger story told in this book--the story of how scientists are using the internet to dramatically expand our problem-solving ability and increase our combined brainpower. We learn, for example, how mathematicians in the Polymath Project are spontaneously coming together to collaborate online, tackling and rapidly demolishing previously unsolved problems. There are many books about how the internet is changing business or the workplace or government. This change is being driven by powerful new cognitive tools, enabled by the internet, which are greatly accelerating scientific discovery. This is a book for anyone who wants to understand how the online world is revolutionizing scientific discovery today--and why the revolution is just beginning.. But this is the first book about something much more fundamental: how the internet is transforming the nature of our collective intelligence and how we understand the world.Reinventing Discovery tells the exciting story of an unprecedented new era of networked science
Steven J. Koch said A fascinating read and great introduction to the untapped power of open science. I read Nielsen's new book cover to cover on my flights to / from an Open Access Week event in Tucson this week and I give it my strongest recommendation for a pleasurable read about a crucial topic. I am a scientist and my students and I practice open science as much as possible--open notebook science, open protocols, open data, open proposals, etc. I have also seen the author, Michael Nielsen speak a couple times, and I have read many of his blog posts. So, before reading t. Most Compelling Manifesto yet for Open Science I have read many books purchased at Amazon, but I have never written or submitted a review on any of them. This is the first book that I felt compelled on some level to comment on, as it really is the best manifesto for open science that I have read to date.A "data web" or Wikipedia of science is a great idea. You cannot abolish journals in the next 10-20 years, given money and self-preservation issues for these journals. And, peer review is currently necessary to prevent ba. Scarlet said interesting Read!. Nielsen makes some compelling arguments about the reasons to open up scientific research to the public using the power of new tools and technology. Great examples of networks using a diversity of people and expertise to problem solve some of the great research questions.
