The resilience of open science in times of crisis

The increasingly hostile attitude of the new U.S. government towards science and academia leaves many of us deeply concerned— if not outright alarmed. In an effort to better understand the unfolding situation and navigate its potential impacts, we provide an overview of five types of threats, each supported by links to documented sources. We also propose a simple resilience framework and use it to interpret the multitude of actions of many different stakeholders that help to counter the threats and attacks. Finally, we explore the particular case of open science: does its openness make it more susceptible to these threats, or could it, in fact, be a source of greater resilience?
