Director of Libraries, MIT.
All things open science, plus hiking, birds, Jiffy and Sunny. Maybe other stuff - who knows?
We also found that people report pro-social reasons for their own open science practices, but assume others are motivated to practice open science out of compliance.
Turns out your colleagues are more supportive of open science than you thought!

So next time you need some wisdom,
Some data, some truth, some soul…
You know where to go.
MIT Libraries, baby—we got you.

Mic drop. Lights dim. Crowd sways in the glow of knowledge.

So turn it up, let the people know,
This library vision’s got that golden glow.
Say it loud: We here to inspire!
Say it proud: We lift you higher! 🎶

[Final Chorus – Crowd clapping, full band energy]
🎶
We got that open access, all day, all night,
You feel that rhythm? That’s the future in sight.
We’re the knowledge keepers, the truth believers,
Helping all y’all turn into high achievers.
