Open science : knowledge for everyone / by Polak, Monique.; Chan, Catherine(Illustrator);
Includes bibliographical references and index.Science is for everyone, right? Unfortunately, that's not always true. Discovery, research and innovation are often top secret, and big businesses charge high prices for that information. The field of open science is trying to change that. It's all about sharing knowledge. Teams of scientists around the world are working together to improve and speed up scientific research and share their results so that everyone benefits. Open Science: Knowledge for Everyone examines the history of scientific research and how ideas and information are shared and why. It also looks at innovations made using open science, such as treatments for diseases and vaccines to protect against viruses like COVID-19, discoveries that were only possible thanks to the sharing of information. Discover how regular people, including kids, can be citizen scientists and what we all can do to share science and make the world a better place.

The brass charm / by Polak, Monique.; Lafrance, Marie.;
"A young girl's grandmother gives her a brass charm, and passes along a story that brought hope and kindness during an unimaginable time. Tali is staying at her Oma's apartment after a storm demolishes their house. She is upset at losing everything. “People have survived worse,” says her mother <U+2014> Oma survived World War Two, and never speaks of it. But that night, Oma shares her story of Holocaust survival, the brass monkey charm that she was given in the camp, and a message of kindness and perseverance in the face of disaster. This book includes an author's note, in which Monique Polak explains how it was inspired by her mother's true experience at Terezin, a Nazi concentration camp in what is now the Czech Republic."-- Provided by publisher.LSC
