For centuries, scientists kept logbooks - messy, brilliant, unfinished. You can still find them in print and online. This is a digital logbook for the 21st century.
Einstein’s journals, Curie’s notes to self, Feynman’s diagrams…as a kid, I loved searching and scanning for answers in every line, because these are now public. Seeing inside jokes and scientists’ personalities shining through their work.
Scientific research doesn’t have much of a public spirit. I’m reminded that art was once gatekept, too; now we have labels and open collectives. The creative and digital age made it shareable. My hunch - research is next. Not just for funding, but for expression.
This project isn’t just mine. The same way crowdfunding in science works because of public participation, this is an open invite to scribble in the margins in a way that makes sense to you. Like signing a big scientific yearbook.
Enjoy.
