Open Notebook Scientists Positive outcomes
Is much easier to give quick feedback to students
Students read each others notebooks!!! Real Science!!!
Many students continued to use OpenWetWare
Some students have gone on to graduate school
w/ this ONS experience as a foundation

Very positive Broader Impacts review from NSF panel
-> Thanks to FriendFeed friends etc. for letters!

NSF Broader Impacts
Feedback for CAREER
Reviewer #5
The broader impacts of this proposal are very strong and very interesting in that the PI has a very strong commitment to open science, both in research and teaching. In terms of broader impact and integrating research and teaching, this is an ideal situation. ...This is excellent broader impact and the PI should be encouraged in these efforts.
CRITERION II: BROADER IMPACTThe lab is running a complete "open science" lab, where all aspects of the scientific endeavor that encompass this proposal are available online in an open model. This novel approach, that covers both the research and teaching components, was universally commended.
Reviewer #2
The PI describes an unusual and extremely attractive plan to run the proposed research project as open access, with data made available as soon as it is collected and research notes publically maintained on the open wetware web site. This is a commendable effort and an extremely attractive aspect of the proposal. Based on this alone, but certainly further enhanced by connection of teaching and minority recruitment, thebroader impact of the proposal is outstanding.
Reviewer #1
The broader impacts are reasonably strong, particularly the PI's use of open science in all aspects of his work.

Our path to ONS
January 2007: Signed up with OpenWetWare; Jason Kelly offered private wiki Thank you to OWW founders!
Fall 2007: Open Notebook Science for undergraduate course on OWW
January 2009(ish): Joined FriendFeed; “met” dozens of amazing people; Students took leap for ONS; Wonderful things continue to happen

Response to ONS from colleagues / tenure review
For the most part, I don’t think colleagues are noticing
Those that notice give positive response; a few have been tempted to try it out (only private wikis so far)
Pretty sure it’s a very positive part of my tenure dossier
Also should substantially help my letters, I would think, right?
Collaborators in cut-throat fields are surprisingly supportive

ONS and intellectual property
Our IP folks at UNM (stc.unm.edu) are fully willing to work with our lab … no pressure to not do ONS
Willing to pursue US-only patent protection (within one year of disclosure) … currently doing this with one project
So I guess we’re getting one data point here
