Not the Bollywood star, but this Harvard grad, who has created a 1600+ video library which has become " the most-used educational video resource as measured by YouTube video views per day and unique users per month. " His next step is to " complement this ever-growing library with user-paced exercises--developed as an open source project--allowing the Khan Academy to become the free classroom for the World."What do I love about him ?1. It's the work of one person - which proves that it takes just one person to improve the world2. He started small - without waiting for funding !3. He dreams big !

Of course, this might have something to do with Lawrence Lessig being from the neighborhood, but that's OK by me. -------- This is from the "Tree of Life Blog" of Jonathan Eisen, an evolutionary biologist and Open Access advocate at the University of California, Davis.

I do and so do many other people. It is for free, easy to use, and covers many subjects. But do you ever use Wikipedia to look up scientific or medical information? Probably everyone does so once in a while.

At ISMB last week, there were a number of conversations about the difference between attribution and citation. This topic was brought up again yesterday in a conversation between the two authors of this post, Frank and Allyson. It is an important distinction which is explored in this post. First, some definitions for attribution and citation. These are not the only definitions possible, but for the purposes of this discussion, please keep these in mind.

In advance of the meeting (even though I am writing this during the meeting) Duncan asked “how can the ontology development principles be improved“. Ally and Melanie responded commenting on each principle, and I would pretty much agree with every issue the ontology ladies raise. These principles should be used to guide ontology developers to build a consistent resource and which are used to “peer-review” the ontology. However, my concern is that there is no indication or recommended methodology in how these principles could be met, during the development process. This was my motivation for reviewing all t... peanutbutter blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4098290 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 10:01:17 +0100 4098290 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2260167&cid=t_157003_132_f&fid=35028&url=http%3A%2F%2Flurena.vox.com%2Flibrary%2Fpost%2Fchoosing-a-license-for-your-ontology.html%3F_c%3Dfeed-rss Over on Friendfeed this week, I started a discussion (both in The Life Scientists room and in the Science 2.0 room) about ontologies and licensing them.

We can use it to collaborate with our colleagues to create knowledge online. Some days ago I read a post about Wiserwiki, a new project launched by Elsevier. This is not the only medical wiki that exists. Actually exists a long list of medical wikis. What is different with this wiki is the fact that the information created here for the medical community belongs to the publisher that owns the wiki. It means that if you want to use the information that exist in this wiki, you have to ask permission to the owner in order to do that. This fact is not new, it is how the industry of information has been working since the invention of copyright. When we write a medical article, we sent our work to a medical journal. They review it, and if they...

Here two links to amazing lectures from UC Berkeley and MIT. We can access them on internet for free. I recommend the lectures at the MIT. The lecturers not only know what they are talking about, but they show the passion they feel for this field. And sometimes this is really important to motivate students to learn.

I am almost two years in the United States and I am taking classes at a Community College, and something they teach to you in each class is, "no plagiarism" . If you take an English class you will listen about copyright almost in any class, and all the books you use repeat the same thing. But nobody talks about principles like Creative Commons, collaboration, sharing, etc. That is the reason today I post this video ...
