  鈥淥ur website鈥攊t鈥檚 a repository that people can share from [鈥 but we鈥檝e also created web tools that allow people to upload their own data that will generate 3D printable file formats. So kind of eliminating that barrier going from atomic coordinates of a protein structure, to something that鈥檚 printable."

  鈥淲hen I think back to 鈥� had I had access to open hardware鈥攖he things, the experiments that I could鈥檝e done or ways that I could鈥檝e done it maybe more efficiently is really exciting to me.鈥� 

  鈥淚 think where open science comes in, in relation to these repositories, is building application programming interfaces which will make these interoperable, so that data from one source can be pulled into another and they can be found across the web.鈥�

  鈥淣ow, instead of $100 million or more to put something in orbit, it can be done for $100,000 or even less, so it鈥檚 become sort of the price of a car to get your own satellite in space. In the last 10 years a ton of universities have done it first, and now there鈥檚 a bunch of start-ups doing it."

  鈥淏eing open about it, and open-sourcing everything鈥攅specially in the academic realm where we try to publish everything鈥攈elps a lot and has definitely led to us working with other people at other universities.鈥�

  鈥淚t鈥檚 often the case that it鈥檚 easier for us to redo it from scratch ourselves and know what we鈥檙e doing than it is to get someone else鈥檚 code or design to work, because of poor documentation. It鈥檚 absolutely鈥攊t鈥檚 almost more important than the work itself.鈥�

  鈥淭here鈥檚 another open-source sensor project that we funded that uses Arduino and they鈥檙e getting very accurate soil moisture readings [鈥 and these sensors cost about $17 so that鈥檚 kind of amazing.鈥�

  鈥淚 think that the open source hardware paradigm is absolutely essential because then you don't have licensing issues."

  鈥淎ll of our projects are required to follow open-science rules. They鈥攁ll of the software is open-source, all the hardware is open-science compatible. They鈥檙e releasing all of the data 鈥� that鈥檚 all required in the solicitation.鈥�

  鈥淥ne of the things that we find in NASA鈥攊n big data鈥攊s we make all our data available, we have a series of these data centers [鈥 around the country and they make petabytes and petabytes of data available [鈥 it鈥檚 weird in that the access problem for developing countries and under resourced institutions and things鈥� its not about getting the data, its about being able to download it and use it鈥攊ts too big.鈥�

  鈥淚t is extremely important to nurture and to enhance the science policy society dialogue that is really building on trust and that can advance science also so it really benefits society as much as possible.鈥� 

  鈥淔rom the UNESCO鈥檚 perspective, open science really is this movement to transform and democratize the entire scientific process. As I said it allows scientific information, data, and outputs to be more widely accessible and more reliably harnessed [鈥 For UNESCO we do see open science as a real game changer to bridge the science, technology, and innovation gaps between and within countries.鈥� 

  鈥淥pen science also can have potentially unintended consequences in鈥攎aybe even鈥攊ncreasing this gap between those who have and those who have-not.鈥� 

  鈥淭he recommendation is intended to really provide this international framework for open science policy and practices that is cognizant of the regional differences in open science perspectives and it recognizes the specific challenges of scientists and different open science actors鈥攑articularly in developing countries鈥攁nd that it contributes to reducing the digital technological and knowledge divides existing between and within countries.鈥�

  鈥淏etween 2010-2011 communities such as the one I鈥檓 involved in鈥擯ublic Lab鈥� and Safecast were established, and this is when we really began creating and applying open hardware and the communities that surround open hardware to support people faced with disasters such as the BP oil spill and the Fukushima nuclear power plant meltdown.鈥�

  鈥�3 key categories of recommendations emerged. The first is learn, so that we can identify and change the structures and processes that affect wider production and adoption of open-science hardware [鈥 The second is support, so that we can create sustainability for open-science hardware [鈥 And then we grow the communities so that we can increase support and mentorship for new members, we advocate for open science hardware within established institutions and ensure that it is supported by policy.鈥�

  鈥淲ith a new U.S. administration in place that鈥檚 highlighting the importance of scientific integrity and decision-making, coupled with a commitment from administration leaders to ensure that science agendas connect to societal priorities, we need to create a policy culture that matches our drive for technology and innovation and considers usability in tandem with open. That is why open hardware needs key policy attention now.鈥�
