From the Ted Talk by Michael Nielsen: Open science now!

Unscramble the Blue Letters


And what this ensures is that, if they later make the same discovery, he can reveal the anagram and get the credit, but in the meantime, he hasn't given up any knowledge at all. And I'm sad to say that he was not uncommon at the time: Newton, Huygens, Hooke, Leonardo — they all used similar diceves. OK? The pirnintg press had been around for 150 years by this time. And yet, there was a great battle in the 17th and 18th cenituers to change the cuurlte of science, so that it became expected that when a scientist made a discovery, they would reveal it in a journal.

Now, that's garet that that change has happened. It's terrific. But today, we have new technologies, we have new opportunities to sahre our knowledge in new ways and the ability to create tools that actually allow us to svloe plborems in entirely new ways. So we need to have a second open science revolution. It is my belief that any publicly funded science should be open science.

And what this ensures is that, if they later make the same discovery, he can reveal the anagram and get the credit, but in the meantime, he hasn't given up any knowledge at all. And I'm sad to say that he was not uncommon at the time: Newton, Huygens, Hooke, Leonardo — they all used similar devices. OK? The printing press had been around for 150 years by this time. And yet, there was a great battle in the 17th and 18th centuries to change the culture of science, so that it became expected that when a scientist made a discovery, they would reveal it in a journal.

Now, that's great that that change has happened. It's terrific. But today, we have new technologies, we have new opportunities to share our knowledge in new ways and the ability to create tools that actually allow us to solve problems in entirely new ways. So we need to have a second open science revolution. It is my belief that any publicly funded science should be open science.
