| Summary | Knowledge is meant to be shared. Science is for everyone, right? Unfortunately, that's not always true. Discovery, research, and innovation are often kept top secret, and big businesses charge high prices for that information. Open science is trying to change that. 'Open Science: Knowledge for Everyone' examines the history of scientific research and how ideas and information are shared and why. It also looks at innovations made using open science, such as treatments for diseases and vaccines to protect against viruses like COVID-19, discoveries that were only possible thanks to the sharing of information. |
