So I had a kind of fun idea I just want to toss out there.
For the past couple GOSH gatherings We made some really nice documentaries about the gathering and getting people together and why we are getting people together and the challenges we are working together to make open science ubiquitous.
For example:
My suggested twist on this, if people are interested (and if we can get funds to make such a video next year), is to kind of flip this format and pretend that open science hardware is already ubiquitous.
It could be a speculative fiction where we get all these people from GOSH and interview them about how life is now in a world where open science hardware is the default.
It can be pretty fun too, we could pretend open science folks are the new worldwide celebrities. we could have something like an interview with @jcm80 where she talks about how sheās retired and taking up competitive skateboarding now that her jobās done.
It can also give folks somewhat concrete ways to discuss the futures we actually want to build. Like it could be a way to interview community members to describe their ideal lab in the future , in a fun way that helps paint a picture of different ways the challenges they currently actually face have been solved. Like i remember last GOSH Valerian showing me progress photos of the new labs they were planning to build, and in this speculative documentary he could talk about the lab as if it was super huge and already built, and discussing the way he lab does stuff now that all science tools are super cheap, available, and replicable for all!
People could basically use it as a fun, engaging format to take interesting challenges they are currently working on, and then use that as a stepping off point to discuss a futuristic scenario as if itās already achieved.
Like Iām currently working on the Mothbox, and i could talk about how,
"we worked with the community to make these little portable insect monitors for dirt cheap, and now no scientific lab in the world is without their little Mothbox that records the nocturnal insects.
It was surprising how they became popular with non-scientists too, and suddenly every kid wanted their own mothbox in their backyard, and every township built dozens of Mothboxes to monitor the āinsect healthā in their neighborhoods.
Perhaps the biggest surprise though was, after teaming up with all those swiss and Indonesian synth hackers, Moth music became super popular, and now GOSH! (The Band) Has a 30 country tour playing live science instruments"
So thatās just some quick off-the cuff examples to just help get the idea across, But it could be kind of fun if people are interested.
