In this 2020 TEDxSeattle talk, Dr. Jane Roskams, a neuroscientist, talks about how a people-powered revolution is Making Science Great Again - giving birth to a new scientific democracy where the Open Science and Citizen Science movements converge. Jane believes expert silos and scientific elitism have left the public prey to misinformation - placing lives in danger - and powerless to contribute to changing our future. She explains how the Open Science movement has driven inclusive global online collaboration to combat threats like COVID 19 and climate change. She urges people without scientific training -from Uber drivers to hairdressers - to follow their passions, believe in their insight, re-envision scientific discovery, and help sculpt the Artificial Intelligence of the future.
6:50 - Seattle has become a global hub for involving all people in scientific research through game play and online challenges.
9:41 - Learn about NASA’s Globe Program where people from around the world work with NASA’s scientists to combat global warming...and how to poop on the moon.
14:26 - Open science works with the global population to tackle COVID-19.

Learn about how Open Science protects us with Tim Smith at www.ted.com/talks/tim_smith_h... Could you participate in major scientific discoveries from your own living room? Dr. Jane Roskams says: “yes!” As a neuroscientist who is at the forefront of national and global efforts to democratize science, Dr. Roskams is aiming to improve the way scientific discoveries can happen-and she believes the key missing ingredient is you.
Through two key movements, “Citizen Science” and “Open Science,” Dr. Roskams shares how scientists can increase the rate of international data sharing and unlock faster scientific breakthroughs. She also emphasizes how everyday people can use their passions and untapped talent to team up to drive this scientific revolution - and maybe help us learn a thing or two about improving our mental health.
Dr. Roskams is one of the first scientists to lead an international, federally funded and citizen crowd-sourced neuroscience project that is all online. She is a dynamic leader at the forefront of the “Open Data” movement. Dr. Roskams-who is also a professor at University of British Columbia and the University of Washington-spends much of her time building bridges and alliances across sectors so that we can all help to transform our understanding of climate change, human health and the universe beyond and within our brains- and be empowered to change all of our futures. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Socialising science makes sense. If it is public, we can learn from it, test it scrutinise it and add to it. Democratising science? We shouldn't vote for the rubbish being published, it needs to be peer reviewed by relevant and impartial professionals. Availability is important; scientific knowledge can not be "owned" by corporations or individuals. It should be made available for scrutiny by and benefit of all.

@chrisallum9044 3 жыл бұрын

The truth isn't voted on. It's absurd and naive. Dangerous potentially in different but similar ways to marx ideas. Great on paper but deadly upon implementation. Science relies on a very harsh hierarchy and that came about out of necessity. (I do not mean people in charge of other people to be clear here) What she is really talking about is destroying science in favor of politics...the compartmentalizing is very important.

@angrytedtalks 3 жыл бұрын

@@chrisallum9044 That was my point. The 97% consensus climate change nonsense came about from asking two separate questions to a consortium of scientists and then making a false claim that both opinions combined to form a third opinion; it is absurd and has had catastrophic consequences, leading people to mistrust real science or worse yet, believe the hyped up BS. We need access to real science, not have to pay $35 a pop to read research papers. The papers need proper scrutiny and the validation published with the conclusions.

@boredfangerrude 3 жыл бұрын

So you're saying all scientific information should be available to all? It sounds like what should be valued most in terms of what is considered valuable is only what is peer reviewed by professional, most likely not impartial scientists though which isn't helpful.

Then there becomes absolutely no incentive to create science. America spends billions of dollars towards research under the assumption that they own it under intellectual property laws. China treats it as public knowledge. They hack and steal massive amounts of knowledge from the U.S, and, predictably, they contribute very little to these fields.

I think that that is the problem we currently face, a hierarchy decides what science model we will implement & then indoctrinates a mob to enforce it under the guise of a democratic consensus. this hierarchy decides what models get implemented, what labs get funded, what research is published, what factors are considered, etc. I am no scientist but i can argue how astrology is based in science however do you honestly think the scientific community will acknowledge astrology? Science likes to claim fact however asks for one free miracle, the big bang!!

The problem, Doc, is that humans have very recently gone from near extinction during the last Ice Age, to drastically overpopulating the planet in around 12,000ish years. That's not much time. Certainly not enough time to dilute the concentrations of genetic mutation that must have developed due to an inability to... diversify with people outside of small isolated populations over many generations. So we have a very large population of people all sharing the remnants of these mutations fresh in their genetic code. For instance, you could safely suggest 72% of all humans in any given sample are, for the lack of any better term in the entire human lexicon spanning all known and extinct languages, fukpotatos. In other words, the vast majority of the human population cannot meet the minimum standard of Successful Democracy, scientific or otherwise. To be informed. Defects in mental capacity, physical abnormalities, mental illness, offensive emanations of all flavor and scent, as well as genetic diseases both known and being slowly discovered as the population continues to expand, acting as a magnifying glass for genetic abnormality and actively preventing the development of key cognitive skills required for scientific thinking. We have to accept that this population of people can, has, and will continue to negatively affect any attempt to democratize or directly focus any and all human efforts. Faith failed, force failed, debt slavery failed, and big data will ultimately fail to enslave and harness real human potential. Humanity has accomplished almost nothing through the combined will and ability of the proverbial many. We've only ever been exploited, on mass, to satiate the whims of the few. Democracy itself is a newborn experiment. Civilization has come, gone, and been wiped away before there was an us to rise from the ice. We are newly born orphans thrown in the river for our imperfections. So no, combining the opinions of those not properly vetted and isolated from the general public, and instead decided upon through the process of popular appeal would be anti-scientific. 72% of all humans in any given sample lack the education, mental capacity, and/or access to mental training required to even think scientifically about surface layer observations. They lack the ability to step back and take in the big picture. Many even fervently deny there is any bigger picture or that any perspective other than their own even exists. This type of utopic impossibility isn't even valuable to speculate about until we've managed to overcome the notion that mutually assured destruction is a path to peace and not extinction. tl;dr you are very wrong, for very good reasons, and you should abandon this idea immediately while encouraging as many other people as possible to do the same.

Somehow, that just sounds like crowdsourcing the grunt work. How is that going to improve science? Publications will still paywall content and scientists are either "forced" to play the game or just want the money, because others at least make part of their research available. If you want fully publicly accessible science, you will need a fund the vast majority of the world paid into and then who's going to get it? Already, funding is corrupt to the core, as is peer review. Science has more than one problem and crowdsourcing isn't helping most. This isn't saving science, it's not even addressing the major issues. The replication crises most sciences have, the third party funding and conflict of interest problems, none of these are even considered in your talk. Your covid example clearly shows how cooperation only happens when there is a global interest and everyone profits from what they put in, plus the rest don't care if they get screwed over for their contribution by tag-alongs because their problem is now bigger. Now try that with climate, or mental health: you'll find vastly differing interests and therefore, competition begins anew. What I do agree on is that the silos must fall. And they already are. Typically, where money is to be made and someone has a basic idea of multiple fields and sees synergy. This is what can be fixed in education, once they stop falling for the "optimisation" meme and stop treating schools like factories as if you could just produce the next top tier of humanity.
