Bill Gates Seeding Innovation
Seattle PI – Maybe this will compensate for the idiocy of the stem cell veto – one of the few issues I vote on –
the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is awarding $287 million over five years to 16 research teams — four of them in Seattle — that have agreed to collectively veer off the beaten path.
…To begin with, the participating researchers all have to collaborate fully — sharing raw data and even experimental materials — rather than continue to compete as independent labs.
Brilliant.
