How does commons discourse apply to the world of science? In this talk, Professor Christopher Newfield discusses the open source benefits, beyond software, for scientific studies. Using Hardt and Negri's idea of the commons, Newfield looks at technoscience, technology transfer, open innovation, leveraged innovation and other issues at the boundaries of science, law, and the humanities.
