由美国国家自然基金会(National Science Foundation),公共科学图书馆(Public Library of Science)和圣迭戈超级计算中心(San Diego Supercomputer Center)合作推出了一个新的SciVee的网站，可以被认为是YouTube的Science版本。科学家们可以在上面上传论文或者以讲座的形式来展示他们的研究成果。旨在给描述科学一个除了解决程式化的和难以读懂的科学论文以外的别的方法。

看了一下 scivee，因为是 PLoS 做的，所以内容多是生物类的。另外，发现它又是用 drupal 做的，drupal 真是很强大，而且很受科学群体的欢迎。

Michael Nielsen 最近又开始活跃地 blog 起来。最近一个帖子提到，他也在考虑网络对科学的影响，并已经开始起草一本相关的书，在未来几个礼拜内会贴出一个摘要。摘要将谈到这些内容：

Micropublication（微发表）: Allowing immediate publication in small incremental steps, both of conventional text, and in more diverse media formats (e.g. commentary, code, data, simulations, explanations, suggestions, criticism and correction). All are to be treated as first class fully citable publications, creating an incentive for people to contribute far more rapidly and in a wider range of ways than is presently the case.

Open source research（开源研究）: Using version control systems to open up scientific publications so they can be extended, modified, reused, refactored and recombined by other users, all the while preserving a coherent and citable record of who did what, and when.

The future of peer review（同行评议的未来）: The present quality assurance system relies on refereeing as a filtering system, prior to publication. Can we move to a system where the filtering is done after publication?

Collaboration markets（合作市场）: How can we fully leverage individual expertise? Most researchers spend much of their time reinventing the wheel, or doing tasks at which they have relatively little comparative advantage. Can we provide mechanisms to easily outsource work like this?

刚过去这个周末最有意思的事情当属 scifoo 2007 了。参看去年我对 scifoo 的介绍。

今年的变化是，参加者可以自由地报道 scifoo 上的所见所闻了，所以可以从blog 圈里了解到许多信息。

太赞了，什么时候我们中文世界也能组织这样的活动啊。

我最喜欢的物理新闻网站 PhysicsWeb，改名为 PhysicsWorld 了。

Physicsworld.com — the new name and new look for physicsweb.org, launching on Monday 30 July, physicsworld.com is the new name for physicsweb.org, brought to you by the publishers of Physics World magazine. Daily news remains the centrepiece of the site, but there will be new features too. Apart from a clean, new look, physicsworld.com will have space for in-depth features, facilities to let you comment on stories you’ve read, as well as access to a digital version of Physics World magazine for all members of the Institute of Physics. The site also has a revamped jobs portal, with access to careers services from the Institute…

这样子与它出版的杂志同名了。由 org 变为 com 是否意味着某种转型？
