Discourse graphs allow rese archers to structure their ongoing research into atomic elements - questio ns\, claims\, and evidence - and connect them in an evolving shared graph. \n\nOur cell biology lab at the University of Washington shares a lab dis course graph as a graph-based lab notebook\, project tracker\, meetings re cord\, literature parser\, and scientific story compilation board. An ongo ing pilot with 10 labs has demonstrated that our open-source Roam Research and Obsidian plugins help researchers think like a scientist\, remain ori ented to their target question/hypothesis\, and make modular contributions to shared research projects. Modular attribution of interoperable researc h results will allow human and AI researchers to contribute to large-scale collaborations\, while retaining agency\, through shared reasoning across an evolving\, auditable\, and attributable knowledge base.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/Metagov/268/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
