[open-science] A Public List of Notable, Senior Open Scientists

[Everton Zanella Alvarenga]

Glad to see this thread. I always wondered where are top scientists to
voice in favor of open science. Or open knowledge in general!

Last year, whilst working at the Wikipedia Education Program, someone has
shown a video of scientists awarded with the Nobel prize supporting
Wikipedia, when I invited professors to make a video doing so. [1]

I tried to persuade people to make videos of prominent professors
supporting the idea of editing Wikipedia [2], but so far that didn't happen.

Congrats for the list made here! I hope it will help more scientist to
understand their responsibility.
