New blog post: "Going for robustness: science".

How can we make scientific findings and scientific processes more robust?

Konrad Hinsen's blog

Interesting to see that OECD shares my view that citizen science matters for making science more robust:

"Citizen participation opens and democratises research processes. When this is done with transparency and inclusivity, it can increase the legitimacy of, and trust in, science, policy and scientific authorities."

@khinsen kids also love it (weirdly your link do not mention schools/kids...)
@defuneste I suppose that OECD does not consider kids very relevant for international politics. Which just means that they think a bit short-term.
