How the web is democratizing science (join in!)
summary
Claims that the web makes research accessible get backed by specifics: demos of browser visualizations built for WormBase using Cytoscape visualizations that let biologists explore protein networks, a platform from Mozilla Science Lab to run sprints and open-source collaboration, concrete costs like 250 strains for $25,000 and PacBio long reads ~$5,000 per sample, and projects like Trillian for distributed astronomy data — each shows tools, numbers, and working prototypes rather than vague promises.
