DESCRIPTION:Extensible and modular research collaboration with lab discours
 e graphs\n\nMatthew Akamatsu\, University of Washington\n	Tuesday March 24\
 , 12-1pm\n	Zoom Link: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/87078928687\n	In Person: 550 
 Sherbrooke\, Room 189\n	\n	Abstract: In their projects\, researchers face th
 e challenge of getting up to speed on the state of knowledge in their rese
 arch area\, tracking their results\, and sharing key results with their la
 b and collaborators. To address these barriers\, we created discourse grap
 hs\, a system and application for modular research collaboration. Discours
 e graphs decouple scientific research into its atomic components - questio
 ns\, claims\, and evidence - and connect them into an extensible graph. Th
 is allows researchers to inventory discrete observations from the literatu
 re and their ongoing research\, and synthesize them into evolving scientif
 ic stories.\n\nOur cell biology lab at the University of Washington shares
  a lab discourse graph as a graph-based lab notebook\, project tracker\, m
 eetings record\, literature parser\, and scientific story compilation boar
 d. An ongoing pilot with 10 labs has demonstrated that our open-source plu
 gins for popular notetaking apps help researchers think like a scientist\,
  remain oriented to their target question/hypothesis\, and make modular co
 ntributions to shared research projects. This scaffolded approach to scien
 tific projects lowers the barrier to meaningful research contribution by n
 ew researchers.\n
