Global open scientific notebook infrastructure Global collaboration: International Interdisciplinary Open science To ascend the knowledge pyramid, we needopen collaboration and sharing of results 14. We must speed up the knowledge discovery process All I am saying is that now is the time to develop the technology to deflect an asteroid
