Presentation Transcript

E-Science: Promoting Public Engagement Wei Wang Associate Professor University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

eScience Public engagement Two issues Communication Computation

An Example in Health Care A patient may search for diseases with similar symptoms choices of treatment expected prognoses WebMD Knowledge & Experience But may not replace the role of doctor patient doctor

Science A non-scientist s view of scientific data may be very different Often carry a partial view Scientist General public

E-Science Challenges Communication between scientist and general public How to better collect/interpret/use scientific data Infrastructure to facilitate such communication Scientist General public

Challenges Data Data acquisition outpaces data analysis Computation becomes a growing bottleneck Need better infrastructure and tools Can we engage the public? Data Data Data Data Computation Discovery

Public Engagement How to make computation more enjoyable? We ve developed a generation with fine-tuned reflexes optimized to recognize fast-changing patterns willing to do so for countless hours willing to do it for FREE
