Why open science?

Optimization

🌟 A better way to work

Open science is a better way to work, not simply a new set of funding requirements.

In my experience, working openly:

• Optimizes outcomes
• Optimizes professional growth
• Optimizes fun

🔬 Optimizes outcomes

• We know more when we know how a result was achieved
• We have better ideas when we discuss them with others
• We are more accurate when others check our work

🌱 Optimizes professional growth

• Working with more collaborators yields more opportunities to learn and network
• Being conscious of collaboration enables crediting critical support roles that are less-often credited

🥳 Optimizes fun

• Working openly draws in passionate and fun people
