• Title: Global technology access in biolabs -- from DIY trend to an open source transformation
• Authors: Tobias Wenzel
• Abstract summary: Do-it-yourself (DIY) technologies are already wide spread, in particular in countries with lower science funding. Central drivers of the adoption of appropriate technologies in biolabs globally are open sharing, digital fabrication, local production, standard parts use, and detailed documentation.

• Abstract: This article illustrates how open hardware solutions are implemented by researchers as a strategy to access technology for cutting-edge research. Specifically, it is discussed what kind of open technologies are most enabling in scientific environments characterized by economic and infrastructural constraints. It is demonstrated that do-it-yourself (DIY) technologies are already wide spread, in particular in countries with lower science funding, which in turn is the basis for the development of open technologies. Beyond financial accessibility, open hardware can be transformational to the technology access of laboratories through advantages in local production and direct knowledge transfer. Central drivers of the adoption of appropriate technologies in biolabs globally are open sharing, digital fabrication, local production, standard parts use, and detailed documentation.

  Recent advances in machine learning and AI are disrupting technological innovation, product development, and society as a whole. AI has contributed less to fundamental science in part because large data sets of high-quality data for scientific practice and model discovery are more difficult to access. Here we explore and investigate aspects of an AI-driven, automated, closed-loop approach to scientific discovery.
