We met at Rice University about a year and a half ago. I was a student of Arkansas' residential high-school for mathematics and science (modelled after the Illinois school you helped create). Now I am at CERN searching for the Higgs Boson... The `God Particle' as you called it. I think a great deal about how research and education are carried out today and the great possibilities that technology has brought us. I know that a great deal of the slashdot readers are strong proponents for a movement in the software industry called the `open source' movement. The fundamental principle behind this movement is a freedom of information. I am curious what room science can make for such a movement. Do you foresee a way in which research can move to an open source paradigm while retaining the stringent process of peer review? Do you foresee any novel ways that we can use today's current technology to combine research and education?
