Five 60-foot dish antennas at Stanford, known as the Bracewell Observatory, are about to be demolished by the school. Saving these dishes should matter to all of us. They can be part of a new world of “open-source hardware” infrastructure that can be managed and shared, just as open-source software projects are done today. The promise of the benefits that might come from having this infrastructure available for citizen science should weigh more heavily in Stanford’s consideration of this issue. Show your support and help persuade Stanford to do the right thing.
