Edinburgh PhD student wins Nature SciData writing competition

Huge congratulations to PhD student Sarah Lampriere (Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences) on being named winner of the Nature magazine 'Better Science through Better Data' writing competition.  Sarah's article, which has been published on the Naturejobs blog,  was about the huge amounts of scientific data now being generated and argues that making it all available and open will help science. There were five winners from all over the world who, as their prize, attended the #scidata17 conference in London last week to hear from speakers involved in all kinds of different aspects of open research, from code-sharing platforms to an entirely open research institute. Keep an eye out for follow up articles from all the winners on the naturejobs blog.
