Open Science Saves Lives

Hi there, it's been a while since I have written in this space, and a while since I have done some serious work around Open Science. I needed some time to heal some pretty deep wounds. I must say the pain hasn't left me yet, but time has made it a bit more bearable. 2020 is being a disaster, someone might say. And I would be very much inclined to agree with them. On the bright (?) side, I have found the courage back to work on something nice, so, here I am, on "my journey advocating for Open Science". I have had the pleasure to write an article with Lonni Besançon and a bunch of other talented people. The article, now available as a preprint , analyzes some things that went wrong in the last few months with respect to scientific publishing and dissemination. The #COVID19 pandemic has led to a number of questionable research practices which a full adherence to #openscience could have avoided. Researchers, co-sign if you agree.
