Moving on to an excellent keynote by Ana Persic from @… , reiterating that we are not doing #OpenScience for the sake of open science - we have a global agenda aiming to achieve Sustainable Development Goals, which needs Open Science to succeed. Science is also a human right and to share science is thus a moral obligation. We are not there yet - there is a rise of mistrust in science, misinformation, actions from non-state actors such as the private sector.

The last step in a long process on “arsenic life”: #arsenic Instead of phosphorus” from 2010 has now been killed (over the objections of the authors) by the journal that had published it: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adu5488 (and see https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2010/12/02/bakterien-mit-arsen-zwangsernahrt-macht-das-leben-im-all-wahrscheinlicher/ and https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2010/12/05/zweifel-an-den-arsen-bakterien-mehren-sich/ for my reporting back then about the announcement and the swift and hard criticism).
