Image of a grassy field with different paths on it. There is a trail head with a bunch of animals standing around and looking at the fox who is the guide. There are also a bunch of animals working on laptops independently and under rain clouds. This image is meant to represent that working alone is not as good as working openly as a team. Openscapes helps us move away from the lonely science path to navigate the Open Science landscape where we can work as a team. Artwork Credit: UCSB / Allison Horst.
