“Open access is like a window of knowledge”

"A lifelong desire to improve the world has led Prof Gawsia Wahidunessa Chowdhury to embrace open access and its ability to extend the reach of her research.... Gawsia comments:   Open access is like a window of knowledge. When I'm doing research, I always want to make the science open for all, so people in other parts of the world can replicate the research. Plastic pollution is a universal story, it is not just relevant in Bangladesh or India. This crisis connects all of us. It's my duty to make the science accessible and understandable for everyone."
