Deep into the heart of open science

The AAAS Annual Meeting takes place in Austin from 15 to 19 February and F1000 will be there. We will try to get to the heart of open science while deep in the heart of Texas. We will be moderating a panel that will include perspectives from a researcher, Charles Lin, Baylor College of Medicine; a funder, Ashley Farley, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; and a publisher, Sabina Alam, F1000. We get some insight into their views on open science.

Open in order to increase transparency and trust
