Fieldnotes is a collection of public documents and notes curated by Andy Burnim. It maps the people, organizations, funding, software, and governance structures across scientific fields, starting with structural biology.
These are working notes shared openly. They reflect an ongoing effort to understand how research infrastructure is built, funded, and connected. The content here is not comprehensive or authoritative. It is one person’s attempt to make sense of a complex landscape.
The site is built with Quartz from an Obsidian vault. Wikilinks between pages create the graph of relationships you can explore on any page.
