What is open science? 🤔
To celebrate #OpenScienceWeek, we're sharing why we give away our data, protocols, and resources to everyone.
Featuring our #openscience friends at @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social, NASA, @addgene.bsky.social, and NIH.

In the largest study of its kind, published in Nature, @alleninstitute.org scientists discovered that our #TCells undergo profound and specific changes as we age.
These changes are a fundamental feature of healthy aging and will happen to all of us as we get older: https://bit.ly/47E2L1X
