I study neuroscience/human biology. I am also a co-founder of an NGO called Global Education Movement (check it out on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GEMovement/) which aims to revolutionise education and make high quality education accessible to everyone. In GEM we believe education has become too institutionalised and it needs to be brought back to the people (i will write a post on this in the upcoming days). In general, i think any project in education/science which tries to bring power back to the people needs to involve academics who are fed up with the system (and trust me, there are many of them). Have you been working on anything regarding this? Or more of an idea you have been playing around with?
