“Helping researchers to manage and share their data is what really motivates me. I was a researcher before, and much of research is not shared because the only incentive is to publish in \u2018high impact factor’ journals. Nobody cares about what you\u2019ve found out as an early career researcher, unless it\u2019s published in a ‘high impact factor’ journal. I want to share more of the science of discovery. I love contributing to this change.<\/p>\n

Data sharing is such an important part of opening up science. What\u2019s really rewarding is when you explore with researchers how they can open up their research. People get a sparkle in their eyes. For me to get one convert really matters.\u00a0 That\u2019s what I\u2019m most happy about.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s really important to understand the people you\u2019re speaking with, to have this connection. There is never enough talking and advocacy, having a personal connection and understanding their motivation. That can\u2019t be solved by any technical solution. It\u2019s social change, cultural change. I strongly believe as an ex-scientist that it\u2019s so important to change the reward system for research. It\u2019s got to be transparent and get beyond only valuing what\u2019s in the \u2018high impact factor’ journal.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
