In this episode Jean-Claude talks to Heather Joseph, Executive Director of SPARC, about open science, its part in the pandemic, and what happens next. Heather shares her thoughts about our readiness to deal with open science, in terms of physical and human infrastructure.
She hopes we have reached a tipping point, where lessons learned from dealing with the pandemic will now be applied to all science, to deal with all global challenges - and that this will become a crucial agenda item for G7 and G20 policy conversations.
Heather Joseph is the Executive Director of the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC). Under her stewardship, SPARC has become widely recognized as the leading international force for effective open access policies and practices. In 2015, she was appointed to the newly-formed US Commerce Data Advisory Council and tasked with providing input to the Secretary of Commerce on issues surrounding open data.
