Speaker Bio: Dr. Monica Granados is the Director of Open Science at Creative Commons and leads the Open Climate Campaign a multi-year campaign to open knowledge about the climate crisis and preserving global biodiversity. While doing her PhD in ecology at McGill University, Monica discovered that incentives in academia promote practices that make knowledge less accessible, leading her to devote her career to making knowledge more equitable and open. Prior to coming to CC, Monica worked at Environment and Climate Change Canada as a Senior Policy Advisor on the Open Science Team and is presently on the Leadership Team of PREreview, where she works to make peer review more open and diverse.
