There is a critical need for a better means to bring research and
education closer together. There are several difficulties that
global science faces. Science has expanded at a furious pace, with
this our scientific focus
narrows because of the outpouring of knowledge.
This greatly impacts the teaching of science as it is
virtually impossible to stay on top of the scientific literature.
The knowledge supply chain from the lab to the classroom in
many disciplines is broken with knowledge taking years to wend its
way from data collection to the lecture hall. Developing countries
fall further and further behind as the price of the journals have
skyrocketed and access becomes limited.
Scientists want to share their knowledge, now we have the
chance. The Library of
Alexandria should be the center as it has been the pinnacle hub of
mans/woman’s knowledge by using PowerPoint on the web as the medium.
