| |description=The Mozilla Science Lab is an initiative of the Mozilla Foundation exploring how the power of open source can change the way science is done on the web. We believe a community of peers that work, learn and build together can make research thrive on the open web. We do this through code sprints, participatory learning and prototyping with the research community to make science more like the web: open, collaborative and efficient.

| == The vision == | | === Timeline === |
|
| |
|
| The web has revolutionized many aspects of our everyday life, from media to education and business. But even though the web was invented ''by scientists'', we still have not yet seen it change scientific practice to nearly the same extent. In scientific research, we’re dealing with special circumstances, trying to innovate upon hundreds of years of entrenched norms and practices, broken incentive structures and gaps in training that are dramatically slowing down the system, keeping us from making the steps forward needed to better society.
| | '''14 June 2013''' - Mozilla Science Lab (MSL) [https://kaythaney.com/2013/06/14/announcing-the-mozilla-science-lab/ is "born"] |
|
| |
|
| The aim of the Science Lab is to foster an ongoing dialogue between the open web community and researchers to tackle this challenge. Together they'll share ideas, tools and best practices for using next-generation web solutions to solve real problems in science, and explore ways to make research faster, more agile and collaborative.
| | '''August 2013''' - MSL begins [https://kaythaney.com/2013/08/08/experiment-exploring-code-review-for-science/ Code Review pilot] with PLOS Computational Biology |
|
| |
|
| == Focus areas ==
| | '''Oct 2013''' - [https://blog.mozilla.org/foundation-archive/mozilla-science/hello-world/ MSL website] goes "live"! |
|
| |
|
| === Code and data literacy ===
| | '''Nov 2013''' - MSL launches [https://blog.mozilla.org/foundation-archive/mozilla-science/join-our-next-community-call-december-12-11-et/ Community Calls] and participates in its first [https://www.mozillafestival.org/ Mozilla Festival] |
|
| |
|
| Digital literacy is as important as reading, writing and arithmetic. In academia, skills training to match the tools and technology is still leagues behind where it should be. We need to find a way to better empower students to be "digital researchers" by shortening the gap and providing the means for them to learn how to share, reuse and reproduce research on the web.
| | '''Dec 2013''' - MSL [https://blog.mozilla.org/foundation-archive/mozilla-science/code-as-a-research-object-a-new-project/MSL partners with GitHub and figshare] to launch "[http://mozillascience.github.io/code-research-object/ Code as a Research Object]". |
|
| |
|
| === Support and innovate with the community ===
| |
|
| |
|
| There are some incredible tools out there pushing the limits to what the future of science on the web can be. We want to help support that work as well as find ways to help coordinate efforts and innovate together.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Convening a global conversation ===
| |
|
| |
|
| Science is a global enterprise, and this needs to be a global conversation. We want to make sure we are getting tools into the hands of the people who need them most, and continually soliciting your thoughts about how we can, together, work towards more open, efficient science on the web.

| * Stephanie Wright (Program Lead, Mozilla Science Lab): Stephanie joined the team after forming and leading the Research Data Services unit in the University of Washington Libraries. While there she was also Senior Data Science Fellow for the UW's eScience Institute. She brings expertise in data management, sharing and curation to the team. Steph is a self-proclaimed data geek and has a dream to get training for coding into the curriculum of elementary schools worldwide. You can follow her at [http://twitter.com/shefw @shefw].
| | Fellows |
|
| |
|
| * Zannah Marsh (Learning Strategist, Mozilla Science Lab): Zannah draws on her background in interaction design, project-based learning, visual art, and storytelling to create “sticky” learning experiences around technology and design. She's taught web design, programming, interaction design, and data visualization at NYU, the New School, and in the City University of New York system. She was Senior Content Developer at the interactive design firm Local Projects, and an exhibit developer for the Museum of Science in Boston. In her spare time Zannah draws mini-comics and rides her bike around Brooklyn. You can follow her at [http://twitter.com/zannahlou @zannahlou].
