Science Shouldn’t Rely on Corporate Software (opinion)
We need to treat the software undergirding scientific research as a public good—and make investments accordingly.

👩🔬 Science advances slowly, across decades.
Commercial tools, by contrast, advance quickly through mergers, pivots and quarterly earnings reports.
Tethering our infrastructure to private companies is like writing knowledge in disappearing ink.

💵 Without proper funding structures, essential research tools remain fragile, often maintained by overworked volunteers.

👩💻 Universities are reluctant to fund software engineers at competitive salaries.
A skilled engineer can earn 5x more in industry than in academia, yet most grants deprioritize dedicated engineering roles.

🤔 Much of modern research rests on tools and platforms maintained not by universities or public institutions, but by corporations whose priorities can shift overnight.
Knowledge itself is being built on the shifting sand of corporate discretion.
