Publishing your poster in a DOI repository like Zenodo extends the lifespan of your poster beyond the conference, reaching audiences who would not have seen your poster otherwise and providing a verifiable, citable record of your scholarly output. Open science in Providence This week finds me in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, attending the 19th Congress of IS-MPMI — the International Society for Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions. This society has been my scientific home throughout my career, and its Congress is renowned for announcements of groundbreaking research in our fast-paced and diverse field. This year, the program is more inclusive than ever, featuring increased representation from the international community and a wide variety of workshops and sessions aimed at career advancement. Among these, a Concurrent Session caught my attention. The brainchild of Toulouse-based PhD student Karima El Mahboubi, who is a passionate advocate of open science and a proponent of reforming the publishing system, this session boasts an inspiring array of talks. Notably, Karima managed to secure Jessica Polka, the Executive Director of ASAPbio and a leading voice in the open science movement, as a speaker.
