  13. How do new (sub)fields emerge? Nascent fields, as they emerge, fairly often have these community blackboards, and I remember the times when the Drosophila community had stuff flying around on faxes. C. elegans has a Worm Breeder’s Gazette…on the Web…People put up negative results as well as positive results, everything…these things seem to work well as the field is struggling to establish itself and people realize that nobody’s got a breadth of expertise or tools… [Molecular Biologist] (Harley et al., 2010: 277)
