Open science can sometimes been seen as a risk but IME there are definitely people out there doing research more openly to advance science despite that.

If you're in academia or industry and have taken action to push the needle to make your research, science, data etc. more open and useful (even if you've been told it will damage your career or goals), I'd love to know about what you've done.
