So today on this #GivingTuesday it's a chance to celebrate + support the people and orgs behind open infrastructure. Donate, volunteer, amplify—it all counts in supporting and contribute to this work. 💚 #OpenInfrastructure

But here’s the paradox: When infrastructure works, it can be invisible. The better it functions, the easier it is to overlook, especially when it’s time to show support. #GivingTuesday #OpenScience

Just a few of the quiet champions behind open research are orgs like: @datadryad.bsky.social @creativecommons.bsky.social @prereview.bsky.social @carpentries.carpentries.org @pyopensci.org @ropensci.org @thecscce.bsky.social @datacite.org @crossref.bsky.social ...

Scientific open infrastructure is the invisible backbone of research. It’s what connects scientists across disciplines + borders, builds essential skills, sparks collaboration, and preserves knowledge for future discovery. #OpenScience #OpenInfrastructure

Today is #GivingTuesday, a global celebration of generosity that inspires people worldwide to lift the causes they care about. We call on our supporters to recommit to our mission and core values and make a one-time or recurring donation. 💙 DONATE TO THE CARPENTRIES: www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...
