\textbf{The rise and fall of the biggest astrophysics discovery of the century highlights the importance of open, collaborative science}.
On 17 March 2014 \href{http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/CMB/bicep2/}{BICEP2}, a South Pole based experiment aimed at studying the very first moments of the universe, made a sensational \href{http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.3985}{announcement}. They claimed to have detected
for the first time the signature of an extremely rapid expansion of space
that occurred right after the
Big Bang. universe's birth. This expansion, also called inflation, is believed to
have occurred when the universe was extremely young and be responsible for the existence of large-scale structures like clusters of galaxies, as well to explain why the properties of the universe appear to be the same for all observers.
