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

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 ...

... @cos.io @investinopen.bsky.social @orcid.org @openalexix.bsky.social They make collaboration + discovery possible. #OpenSource #OpenData

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

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
