OpenWorm is an open source project dedicated to creating the world’s first virtual organism in a computer, a C.elegans nematode. We plan to achieve this goal by 1) bringing together highly motivated scientists and engineers 2) pushing away all the red tape 3) fostering growth of a completely open computational biology community.

Science still does not understand the human brain to the level needed to cure diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Believe it or not, science doesn’t even understand the brain of a simple worm! Because we believe brain research must accelerate, we are taking matters into our own hands. We are a highly motivated group of individuals who believe in Open Science.

Crowd-sourcing

GradHacker. Videri - Videri. Videri aims to advance knowledge about history and historiography by providing an open forum for scholars and students to post information about historical works. As a wiki, this site allows any member to edit, revise, and enhance the commentary provided by other members. (Anyone can become a member by contacting the administrators.) Most of the database consists of summaries of key works of history, organized by field, as well as interpretive essays on important questions in historiography. Videri was originally founded by graduate students in the History Department at Columbia University in 2004. The database expanded significantly over the next two years, but the site crashed and most of our data was lost. To edit a page, go to the page and click the Edit button at the top of the screen.Like Wikipedia, the formatting style for pages on Videri is very easy to use.
