Open Source for Science Fund Launches to Power AI-Driven Discovery
A new multi-donor fund by Renaissance Philanthropy seeded by Biohub and Wellcome opens its first call for proposals.

science funding and the cherry picking problem
Science publishing–like all of science–requires money. There’s no getting around it, even with the open science movement. What appears free to many authors and readers still requires money and infr…

The Minimum Viable Scientific Record
The open science movement does not lack a shared vision. Decades of declarations, statements of principle, and calls to action have failed to put that vision into practice. This essay proposes a minimum viable scientific record (MVR) that would make the open science vision possible, and asks funders to make operating on it a condition of their money.

Doing Data Science on the Shoulders of Giants: The Value of Open Source Software for the Data Science Community · Issue 2.2, Spring 2020
Open source software is ubiquitous throughout data science, and enables the work of nearly every data scientist in some way or another. Open source projects, however, are disproportionately maintained by a small number of individuals, some of whom are institutionally supported, but many of whom do this maintenance on a purely volunteer basis. The health of the data science ecosystem depends on the support of open source projects, on an individual and institutional level.

Open by design: Ai2 brings fully open AI infrastructure online with NSF OMAI | Ai2
Ai2 is bringing NSF OMAI compute online to power a fully open AI research ecosystem, turning national infrastructure investment into reusable models, data, methods, and tools that can accelerate scientific discovery.

OpenAI launches AI model GPT-Rosalind for life sciences research
OpenAI on Thursday introduced an artificial intelligence model touting increased biology knowledge and scientific research capabilities, as the startup deepens its push into the life sciences field.

With open data, you finally get what you’ve paid for all these years
If you pay your taxes, you pay for research. Governments take your money and distribute it to their own departments (like NASA and DARPA), to universities and nonprofits in the form of grants, and to corporations in the form of subsidies. Up until no...

Economic incentives is a big problem with AI in open-source spaces. Finding is unevenly allocated, and AI leads to further disparity. Instead of spreading money around the dev community, it'll go to AI companies. Open source thrives on humans. We don't need rockstars, we need resources.

they should be giving out more of that to the community as grants and focusing on protocol governance and standards and bringing new people into atproto.
