SORTEE member voices – Markus Eichhorn
[SORTEE member voices is a weekly Q&A with a different SORTEE member] Name: Markus Eichhorn. Date: 02 July 2021. Position: Lecturer. Research and/or work interests: I am interested in forest ecology. What do you see as the greatest challenge facing the open / reliable / transparent science movement at large or specifically in ecology and evolutionary biology? In ecology there are a number of groups who control access to large global databases which, while ostensibly available to all, are often closed, in that access is determined by gatekeepers who determine who can use the data, the uses to which it is put, and the credit that derives from their use.
