Open in order to ... have a plan B

"As a PhD student and research assistant I am strongly convinced that practicing Open Science (sharing code & data, ensure reproducibility, create and contribute to FLOSS, ...) does not only benefit science and society, but the individual practitioner as well. Headhunters and job agencies use GitHub to find and target developers fitting their requirements. The stars and forks on GitHub are real endorsements that are  acknowledged and appreciated by both science & industry."
