OSDR Testimonials
Dr Paola CastañoUniversity of Exeter “The NASA Open Science Data Repository could have remained as a data archive, but has become a crucial living core of the space biology research program. The Analysis Working Groups are expanding the space biology community bringing new researchers into the field and expanding the realms of expertise relevant for space biology”. |  |
Miguel Vargas CruzGrupo Alianza Empresarial “I found the information OSDR provides extremely interesting, as it would otherwise be very complex to obtain… it helps me conduct tests on the behavior of quantum computing using such data, and I also saw an extraordinary opportunity to contribute through the AWG Multi-Omics community.” |  |
Dr JangKeun KimWeill Cornell Medicine “My experience with the OSDR AWG community has been incredibly rewarding. The collaborative spirit and unwavering commitment to open science have not only enriched my research but also helped create a vibrant network where groundbreaking ideas flourish—making space accessible to humanity and getting there together through international collaboration.” |  |
Megan SawantGL4HS 2023 Cohort “Applying to GL4HS was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. This program gave me the incredible opportunity to network with several professionals in the space biology field, develop strong bioinformatics research skills, and share my findings with others. It’s a program that keeps on giving, connecting you with the larger NASA community and creating lasting relationships with the amazing cohort of interns you work with.” |  |
Dr Val FajardoBrock University “This really is a great initiative. I’m proud to be a part of it. I’m proud to be a part of Open Science. It really does seem like the best way to move forward in terms of maximizing data usage and research exposure, and also to maintain the integrity of science.” |  |
Dr Emmanuel GonzalezMcGill University “This kind of collaboration makes open science so powerful: it pushes research further than any one team could on their own.” |  |
Dr Begum MathykUniversity of South Florida “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”- Albert Einstein “It mirrors the continuous learning and discovery facilitated by the NASA OSDR’s open science platform, which has been instrumental in expanding my research and allowed me to utilize multiple datasets. This accessibility has not only enriched my resources but has significantly strengthened the analyses and outcomes of my work.” |  |
Dr Willian Da SilveiraUniversity of Salford “GeneLab was essential for what I have in my profession, in my career. I will start a research group on System Medicine of Ageing and Spaceflight. This was only made possible by GeneLab.” |  |
Sally HaGL4HS 2019 Cohort “The GL4HS program gave me the skills and confidence to pursue an undergraduate degree in bioinformatics, and I hope that it continues to inspire students to reach for their highest potential!” |  |
Konstantinos AdamopoulosNTUA, Fulbright Scholar 2022-23 Visiting Researcher at GeneLab “Dr Ramachandran et al. defined Open Science as a collaborative culture enabled by technology that empowers the open sharing of data, information, and knowledge within the scientific community and the wider public to accelerate scientific research and understanding. This is precisely what OSDR and AWG members do!” |  |
Dr Jakub MieczkowskiMedical University at Gdansk “The repository allows you to browse available data quickly and easily, making it easier to form a hypothesis and find the data needed to verify it. AWG is a fantastic community that facilitates the exchange of experiences and active cooperation.” |  |
