Day1
In a quiet winter forest, a small Open Science Bird decides to build the best nest ever. Not just any nest but one built openly, so every creature can learn from it.
“If research is a nest,” she chirps, “then I am building mine so everyone benefits.”

She sketches her nest design and pins it to a tree trunk like a public notice board.
“Maybe someone can help me improve this,” she says.
A squirrel adds a clever tweak; a hedgehog suggests reinforcing the base.
The blueprint becomes better with every pawprint.

A sudden gust of wind snatches her blueprint, well almost!
Luckily, she has all her versions tucked safely in her pinecone-based version control system.
She smirks, “Ha! Try blowing away v1.1, forest.”

Grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to another @nature.com article. This one, about spreadsheets. While there is often distrust surrounding them, they are still a ubiquitous tool that, if used properly and for the right reasons, can be effective.
