As scientists become more networked across space and research questions become more connected across disciplines the increase in the linking of science disciplines will continue. Along with the greater hyphenation of science disciplines, (for example bio-geo-chemical oceanography) comes the complexity of its information and the resultant management and reporting and visualization of results. In the past, biology and ecosystems sciences have addressed the complexity of information using systems modeling approaches and funding came from dedicated programs supporting the complex science observations. Will the same approach (current funding agencies) satisify the  needs of complex and collaboraive science as the science topics become more webbed?  As collaborative science grows and silo busting occurs can SciFlies help provide funding to projects that manage the cross disciplinary topics and are there limitations to how much integration can be expected from the public appreciation, and from SciFlies ability to manage the topics and finally from science itself. We hope that over time SciFlies can help spawn the methods and activities that can creating cross cutting knowledge areas.
