Science isn\'t perfect and one of it\'s biggest problems revolves around the publishing process, by which scientists share their findings with the public after peer review.\\xa0 However, this sharing can be quite limited in both what is shared and who gets to see it.\\xa0 Open access science, shared publicly, can enhance the discovery process, but implementing open access can be difficult.\\xa0 We talk about new systems that could accommodate open access publishing, revamped peer review, and even the publishing of null results.\\xa0 Null results in science are often shelved for decades, unseen by those who could use the information to avoid costly experiments already proven fruitless by others.\\xa0
