By now, we all know the problems: expensive, burdensome, inaccessible, biased (and more!).
I wanted to help and leave something better than I found it.

And I knew that we could do more to lift up science, bring trust back to peer review, and equip all scientists to share their discoveries.
It was time to bring collaboration back to #ScientificPublishing.
3/n
- Science happens best in collaboration
- All credible research is valuable and should be shared
- Publishing should be designed for better science instead of better profits
4/n
#ScientificPublishing should be fair, accessible, & transparent.
So for those of you growing tired of the system of publishing we're stuck in, take a look. I think you'll find it refreshing. 5/5
