What changes when researchers can build on one another’s work earlier? 🔓

For #OpenScienceWeek, Hina Ojha, PhD, of CRN Team Muqit shares how early access and cross-lab collaboration can spark new directions and strengthen #Parkinsons research ⬇️

Open Science Week quote graphic with a light, abstract network-pattern background and purple accents. A large purple “01” appears on the left, with the question at the top: “How has open science helped you share your work and access, reuse, or build upon research from others?” Below a thin purple divider, Hina Ojha, PhD, responds: “Open science gives access to work that might otherwise stay hidden for months through peer review, publication delays, or negative results. Platforms like bioRxiv let us see, question, and build on findings earlier. In disease research, where every moment counts, that early access can spark an important new direction.” Open Science Week quote graphic with a dark navy and purple abstract network-pattern background. A large purple “02” appears on the left, with the question in white at the top: “How can open science help move Parkinson’s discoveries closer to better treatments, care, or everyday outcomes?” Below a thin purple divider, Hina Ojha, PhD, responds: “For a long time, science rewarded labs for competing and protecting their work, and sometimes we lost sight of why we entered the field: to understand disease and help patients. Initiatives like ASAP have pushed us to collaborate and opened many eyes to how much faster and better science can move when we work with, rather than against, each other.” Open Science Week quote graphic with a light, abstract network-pattern background and purple accents. A large purple “03” appears on the left, with the question at the top: “How has access to another researcher’s data, methods, tools, or resources influenced the direction of your own work?” Below a thin purple divider, Hina Ojha, PhD, responds: “Collaboration taught me that you do not need the burden of knowing everything. In some projects, another lab brought the biology while I contributed structural insight. Each of us brought what we did best, and together the work became something neither could have achieved alone.”

🔓 Open science is central to how we work year-round.

Across our network, researchers share data, tools, protocols, and other resources so others can access, test, reuse, and build on new discoveries.

Stay tuned as we look ahead to #OpenScienceWeek, Sept. 14–18.
