Hi Michael,
I found your talk extremely interesting. We’ve developed a generic platform that makes it easy for researchers to initiate research-based problems and invite colleagues around the world to contribute, very similar to the polymath project expect one does not need a blog for this. Instead a question-based research problem can be initiated by anyone who works on a publicly funded research project. Please visit http://www.sparklingscience.com – We would like everyone in the open science movement to try our soon-to-be-finished beta. Maybe this could help spark a cultural shift and ultimately a new open science revolution.
I’m also arranging TEDxVasastan in Stockholm the 13th of February. The theme is “The things we make – and beyond”. See http://www.tedxvasastan.se – your more than welcome to apply. Our first speaker is Gustav Borgefalk who works with the team on matternet.org
Hope to hear from you soon!
Kind Regards
