This document discusses increasing the impact of scientific research through open access and public engagement. It notes that taxpayers fund billions for scientific research but the public doesn't always have access to the results. Making research openly available online allows others to build on the ideas and findings, increasing impact. The document encourages scientists to share their work openly, engage with the public, and build their professional networks to maximize the influence of their research.
