Scientific Method in Digital Age

Scientific method has not changed in centuries, today, forsight at every step how to perform digitally is crucial.

Digital tools shall not hold you data hostage

You would not store your money in a bank that makes it hard to get out - treat your data the same - all tools shall help gather and share information.

Problem

We were taught how to keep paper notebooks for scientific discovery and documentation. But when it comes to digital it is often an “IT” problem and not a “Scientist” problem and thereby holistic design is not accounted for.

Mitigation

Help educate digital methods and trends that scientists and engineers can use to capture their scientific process.

Design Decisions

To keep things as nimble as possible, an open source tools criterian will have to be met with every tool - to ensure scalability globally.
