“…Indeed, this supposed protection of the public, or furtherance of "public purposes," may take forms that are inimical to science, as in the well known cases of Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union, as reported in Medvedev [20,1969], or the researches of Dr. Mengele in Nazi Germany, both of which were given a cloak of protection by the state.…”

Do the benefits of data sharing outweigh its perceived costs? This is a critical question, and one with the potential to change culture and behavior. Dai et al. (2018, https://doi.org/10.1002/2017JG004277) examined how data sharing is related to scientific impact in the field of eddy covariance (EC) and found that data sharers are disproportionately high-impact researchers, and vice versa; they also note strong regional differences in EC data-sharing norms. The current policies and restrictions of EC journals and repositories are highly uneven. Incentivizing data sharing and enhancing computational reproducibility are critical next steps for EC, ecology, and science more broadly. Plain Language Summary The raw data that scientists generate-typically from experiments and/or observations-have traditionally been kept private, but research funders, journals, and scientists themselves are pushing for change, arguing that taxpayer-funded data should be "open" (available to all) on both moral and practical grounds. Do influential scientists share more, and does data sharing lead to higher impact? This commentary discusses a recent paper examining these issues in a particular field of ecology and earth system science. Current policies and restrictions are highly uneven, and it is critical to provide proper credit for scientists who freely share their data.

At almost 90 years of age, we have lost the author of the founding historical works on Johann Gregor Mendel. Vítězslav Orel served for almost 30 years as the editor of the journal Folia Mendeliana. His work was beset by the wider problems associated with Mendel's recognition in the Communist Bloc, and by the way in which narratives of the history of science could be co-opted into the service of Cold War and post-Cold War political agendas. Orel played a key role in the organization of the Mendel symposium of 1965 in Brno, and has made a strong contribution to the rehabilitation of genetics generally, and to championing the work of Johann Gregor Mendel in particular. With Jaroslav Kříženecký, he cofounded the Mendelianum in Brno, which for decades has served as an intellectual bridge between the East and West. Orel's involvement with this institution exposed him to dangers both during and after the Cold War.

“…The 'scientific attitude' has become so ingrained in the thinking of a generation of professional research workers that even such power structures as Lysenkoism can be defeated by an appeal to simple fact and straight logic. 6 But it seems absolutely essential for the preservation of this attitude that the bureaucratic corporations should not monopolize the sources of information and means of communication. One single international institute of high energy physics, dominated by its trillion volt machine and controlling all the media of publication in this field, would be a monstrosity.…”
