Ignite@AGU Talk - Scientific problems are often no longer single person or single lab problems. In this talk, I will cover why community is critical, how to be a good citizen of communities you are a part of and further your own career at the same time and what we can hope for if communities are successful.

- 9. The fabric of science is changing, driven by a revolution in digital technologies that facilitate the acquisition and communication of massive amounts of data. This is changing the nature of collaboration and expanding opportunities to participate in science. If digital technologies are the engine of this revolution, digital data are its fuel.But for many scientific disciplines, this fuel is in short supply. Vincent S.

Editor's Notes
- It is a privilege to present at Ignite@AGU. This image sums the three things I love – (1) the earth from space, (2) earth science data and technology and (3) building community. I feel that bringing these things together we have the chance to transform how we do science. - Scientific problems are often no longer single person or single lab problems. In this talk, I will cover why community is critical, how to be a good citizen of communities you are a part of and further your own career at the same time and what we can hope for if communities are successful."

- When I read about connectors it gave me language to describe what I have been doing my whole life – this is me in fifth grade and this is nearly the the first newsletter I wrote for my family. From fifth grade, I went on to coordinate and facilitate groups my whole life. In preparing for this talk I thought I didn’t have anything to share because being a connector is no big deal. Gladwell reminded me that connectors are critical – he says: They are people who "link us up with the world...people with a special gift for bringing the world together” We need to use business models that will allow connected humans with shared interests and goals to work together and to produce returns” Nilofer Merchant, 11 Rules for Creating Value in the Social Era

- Who… Benefits of Engaging with Community: Enhance staff knowledge through peer knowledge exchange Take away new technologies Identify new collaborations Leverage scarce resources through reuse, repurpose Help define community best practices
- Why
- Leverage backbone infrastructure to lower barriers to collaboration
- This is an ice breaker and I am going to ask all of you to participate in an ice breaker. Please stand up and identify someone that you don’t know. In 30 seconds, I’d like you to introduce yourself, what focus group you primarily participate in and share why you are here. Then we will switch. Ready?
- In this year’s address to the Nobel Prize winners, the chairman of the board of Nobel Foundation, Professor Carl-Henrik Heldin, reminded that Albert Camus, who received the 1957 Nobel Prize in Literature, said that "The seventeenth century was the century of mathematics, the eighteenth that of the physical sciences and the nineteenth that of biology. Our twentieth century is the century of fear.” He went on to say, the twenty-first century has begun with a growing sense of fear, but I hope collectively that the 21st century is the century of collaboration and open science, going farther together.
