1. Compact, Mobile Research Science - You aren't going to thing the Tab looks dumb anymore
Scientific Software as a Service (ScSaaS) is being developed mobile first. Tools like Flickr, Github, and SlideShare make my research very portable. Using web front end tools like Foundation and Bootstrap it is becoming increasingly easy to simultaneously make both mobile and web-based software clients. Don't call this a mobile lab notebook, think bigger, you know how big space is for Christsake!
In this stage, peer review publication will begin to recieve less recognition than data and code downloads. Education will change and the future job market will be redistributed; new jobs will form and old jobs will be automated. Data and codes are going to become available. In fact, the semi-open element of science sits in everyone's dropboxes. Stop sending shit in e-mails, you are making your life harder, put it some that also has a URL. Object-based storage is going to drive the unstructured big data landscape of science.
During this period, the language of science is going to rapidly evolve. The language of science will consist of data, codes, software, and rapid information exchanges. Currently, these objects are distributed, unstructured, and unavailable across most of science. As they become connected, a sort of pidgin software language will be spoken. During the metastable growth of this the mobile science generation a creole language will be spoken for science. A uniform scientific language and lower cost on information access is going to drive the shit out of science.
It will be important for the younger scientists to have a strong voice. The public opinion of science is suffering tremendously because a bunch of media goons are doing terrible scientific reporting. Shit they just do bad science. One on one debates about is science good or bad. Get Real. What needs to happen is the young generation needs to take their voice and show people how beautiful science is, how challenging it is, how rewarding it is.
" In materials science, we design new and improved materials to satisfy the demands of the most cutting edge technologies like aerospace and electronics and voluminous materials like aluminum and rubber. Our science is driven by microscopes and computers that observe what happens to EVERYTHING you use while you use. So here's an example, when a metal pipe bursts the material fails catastrophically. The crack that broke that pipe started on the order of atoms, a few atoms broke apart, then a lot more, then they started moving together, then some called pipe guy. We look at atoms, cracks, crystals, polymers, fibers, etc on the order of length scales from nanometers to airplanes. The images we generate are beautiful, we use the most sophisticated cameras in the world to see shit that no one else can see. It's beautiful, it's challenging, it has public appeal, it has research value, and sharing is caring. Below is a nanotruss, Julia Greer's group at CalTech makes them, this beautiful truss is less than half the size of human hair. Who cares how magnets work. "
