Listening to the Experts
summary
Announces a new nonprofit called Expert Labs that connects policymakers to outside expertise by having policymakers define questions, technologists build web 2.0 tools to distribute them, and AAAS members supply answers; launched with AAAS partnership and seed support from the MacArthur Foundation. Claims crowd-sourced “cloud expertise” scales policy-making beyond closed-door briefings and aims to tap hundreds of thousands of scientists, but presents this as a launch plan rather than evaluated results.
