As a Master student, willing to do a PhD in Plant Physiology in a public university, I have been really moved by this speech. Great talk! I hope that such futur would become reality.
Open source software is the best example.Same is needed for bio medical research.All the efficacy values bosted by pharma industry needs to thoroughly subjected to repeated trials.Pharma selectively reports only positive trials and selectively leaves out negative trials.
in principle I agree. However, it is easily tested if software is wrong - it just won't do the job it is supposed to do. So it is easy for anyone - even those without being skilled in software - to determine whether the software can be trusted or not. The problem with scientific data is how to determine whether these can be trusted or not. That is where the reviewers/referees come in in the current system. Just making data available on the internet without further assessment will therefore not be sufficient, as anyone with specific interests can just put out any amount of possibly fake data and make that available to anyone. Without the quality check that today is provided in the reviewing process (which definitely does not provide any certainty either) we end in a scientific wild west. Therefore, open access alone cannot be the answer. Maybe we should rethink our funding systems for research, so as not to reward scientists on the number of "prestigious" publications.which does not provide any certainty either.
Open Science shifts the payment burden from the 'reader/subscriber' to the 'author' who has conducted the research in the form of Article Processing Charges (APCs). Shouldn't a system be developed where the author benefits financially from their contributions? In a publish-or-perish world, this takes a toll on the authors.
Somewhere along the academic path we begin to fear what naturally comes to children the ability to question everything.
Fear of finding out.

Long live Openness ❤
I would like to point out that lack of support from university for reviewing service, reviewing is part of research
Great speech, I really learned something.👍🏾
It was a nice talk dear. Persevere. Don’t give up. Science is worth it. Wish you all the best in your career.
love her passion
