Science Is Open Software

The author, Jesper Pedersen, discusses the importance of open-source software in scientific research, citing the example of the OpenFOAM project, a widely used computational fluid dynamics software that was initially developed by a group of researchers from the UK and is now maintained by an open-source community. Pedersen notes that open-source software allows for more transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration in research, and encourages other researchers to make their software open-source.
