Dr. Jim Gould
Director for Postdoctoral Affairs, Harvard Medical School. Program Director, Responsible Conduct of Research.Because most science is publicly funded, we owe the public an explanation of what we do and why it matters.
It’s not enough to do science for science’s sake. We should communicate its impact and importance to the broader public, not just to other scientists. Translating postdoc research into accessible summaries is one of the most important ways to connect science to the public good.

I believe open science is better science — more rigorous, faster, and ultimately a responsibility we owe to society.
