Public Sticky notes
Promoting affiliation between scientists is relatively easy, but creating larger organizational structures is much more difficult, due to traditions of scientific independence, difficulties of sharing implicit knowledge, and formal organizational barriers.

Second, scientists work independently. Scientists generally
enjoy a high degree of independence, both in their day-to-day work practices as
well as in the larger directions of their work. Scientific researchers have
greater freedom to pursue high risk/high reward ideas than do individuals in many
other professions. Most practicing scientists would strongly resist controls
that many corporate employees accept as normal, such as having their work
hours, technology choices, and travel schedules dictated by others. The culture
of independence benefits science in many ways, but it also makes it more
difficult to aggregate scientists' labors.

Scientific collaborations must work
harder than other organizations to maintain open communication channels, adopt
common toolsets, and keep groups focused on common goals.
