A really fantastic thread here by @TheFrontalLobe_ , a beautiful example of how science publication, data sharing, and collaboration should work. I strongly encourage you to read the whole thing:https://twitter.com/TheFrontalLobe_/status/1021730368922234880 …

There's a common (and correct) sentiment that our current system of sharing ideas/results/data/code needs improvement, but it's too risky for most of us to stray too far outside existing norms. Changing norms have to come from established scientists...https://twitter.com/dannyjnwong/status/1019811010209861632 …

...but most established scientists are caught in a bind. They can tolerate risk, but what about their students and postdocs?https://twitter.com/NicoPC131/status/966231526076796928 …

In a perfect world, we'd freely share ideas/results/data/code immediately, but our system of incentives strongly discourages that:https://twitter.com/gallantlab/status/1016944762912305153 …

...so only a small population of lucky scientists are privileged enough to try out new approaches to sharing and collaboration without risking grad student and postdoc careers:https://twitter.com/srikosuri/status/965817185821077504 …

And THAT'S why I'm so impressed by this work. They don't have tenure. They don't have their own labs. They don't have any promises about the future. And they're trusting the rest of us, inviting us into their data, because it's *the right thing to do*.https://twitter.com/TheFrontalLobe_/status/1021733575077634049 …

If you want to see more of this (IMO) productive, correct, ideal scientific behavior, let's ease the way for more people to join in. When you're reviewing job applications and grants, reward good behavior like this. FUND THEM. HIRE THEM.https://twitter.com/orenzusman/status/1019908308524765184 …

I'll close by pointing out that I'm barely scratching the surface. There's so much to admire here...https://twitter.com/El_EfeEfe/status/1019752191236722689 …
