Programming languages, interactive data manipulation, teaching, history of science
Translating software development practices into scientific research workflows
Connecting a critical mass of like-minded scientists willing to create more healthy and productive scientific ecosystems

André Marques-Smith

Accelerating research and progress by improving transparency and distributing collaboration. Rethinking scientific structures to incentivize healthy behaviour.
Ideas and conceptual prototypes help achieve these aims; e.g. a digital editor for soliciting peer review for your preprint
Web/software development technical expertise; Best-practise examples for every stage of science in the open

What are your interests? Anarchy, capoeira, circus, education, and permaculture
What can you contribute? Science communication and public outreach, cross-disciplinary collaborations, expertise on cephalopods (octopus, cuttlefish, and shrimp), and fresh homemade bread
What are you looking for? A way to live a scientifically and artistically rich life without suffering the negative consequences of modern urban life

10 Solving problems, figuring out how things work (mainly the brain), build new simple things that also work, and combine these new things to: Solve bigger problems, figure out how bigger things work, build new slightly more complicated things that also work, combine them to solve bigger…
20 Ideas, past experience, snarky remarks, code, data, and work.
30 Critical mass. The singularity. New cool things to learn. Similarly inclined people. Solving problems together, GOTO 10 …

Andrew York

I’m interested in paradox, invention, and smart enthusiastic people. I’m good at physics, optics, microscopy, building, and coding.
I can contribute a solid technical and social commitment to re-inventing scientific publishing. My funding is stable and my employees are permanent, so I can tolerate an unusually high level of professional risk, for a scientist. I can be the guy who jumps first to see if the parachute opens.
I’m looking for a community of other potential jumpers for shop talk, tip-trading, and camaraderie.
