Why is Personal Science Powerful? (3 of 3)Personal scientists are more free than professional scientists
Professional scientists want to publish, keep job, get raise, win awards, please colleagues, get grants, follow institutional rules
Personal scientists only want better health
![Page 24: Seth Roberts Tsinghua University, UC Berkeley](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/56816682550346895dda2875/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What Will Happen?Non-scientists are gaining ability to do science (= knowledge x skill x novelty)
Literacy alone useless. Must have (a) stuff worth reading that (b) ordinary people can get
Personal science will spread because science is becoming easier AND because (a) there is stuff worth learning that (b) ordinary people can learn
![Page 25: Seth Roberts Tsinghua University, UC Berkeley](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/56816682550346895dda2875/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ConclusionsPersonal science can improve on expert advice and professional science
… partly because personal scientists have more freedom than professional scientists
Personal science will spread because there is stuff worth learning that ordinary people can learn
