    Photo of Fernanda Beigel, Chair of the UNESCO Open Science Advisory Committee and Researcher at CONICET, alongside written text of the following except from her podcast interview: "Open science has to be open science with non-commercial ends. That, for scientists at least, its something that that we do because of real deep vocation, and so we have to boost this type of science... I’m not speaking now as a researcher, but as a citizen, [we] citizens have to struggle against that. We have to defend an open science that also is open for society, and really completely outside of these economic and commercial interests."
