Was Open Science

Pros

The initial concept of providing Open Science for free was extremely appealing. Coworkers are generally quite good

Cons

The institute has transitioned from freely sharing our scientific data with the world to outsourcing it to a third party. Now, both our global customers and our own science staff must pay this external company to access what was once ‘open’ science. Additionally, it appears we are straying from our values, as there seems to be a lack of emphasis on being prudent with our resources. Furthermore, it seems there has been quite a shift from team science, to being full of office politics.
