Embracing Collaboration for Enhanced Science

The advancement of science relies heavily on the principles of collaboration and openness. In this context, specialized communities like the Non-Clinical Tomography Users Research Network are at their best when drawing together the expertise of our membership with the tried and true approaches of external collaborators. This diversity of perspectives fosters an inclusive environment that is essential for scientific innovation.

This week, in Nature Magazine’s World View, Jessica Farrell (Community Coordinator for the Software Preservation Network and the BitCurator Consortium) highlights the role that librarians, archivists, and information scientists can play in transitioning disciplines, like computed tomography imaging, into a FAIR and open, data-rich future.
