Dear colleagues,
the recent discussion on the necessity and feasibility of storing raw
data for all our structures raises a second point, I think. For the
current discussion it is only a matter of storage place that has to be
assigned somehow to make fobs, unmerged data, or raw images available to
everybody who want's to download, but there are other science fields out
there as well. Do we want to collect also gels, plots, plasmids,
bacterial strains, mice, dollies, .... at some central place? Or should
rather the scientific ethics bind all of us to practice good science and
to be an objective reviewer when asked?
The usefulness for software developers and future experiments with our
data is a completely different issue of course.
Just wanting to raise this point.
Manuel Than
