The Pauling Principle Episode 30 - Open Science with Karmen Čondić-Jurkić

In this episode I sit down with Karmen Čondić-Jurkić, co-founder and Executive Director of the Open Molecular Software Foundation, the organization behind OpenFE, Open Force Field, OpenFold, and OpenADMET.We talk about what it takes to build scientific software that a dozen competing pharma companies will fund together, why permissive MIT licensing beats the walled garden, and how a recent blind challenge put OpenFE's binding free energy predictions in front of the whole field for independent scrutiny.
