A 2003 initiative to share data and findings among 100 Alzheimer research studies has lead to a new understanding of the devastating disease.
This unprecedented data sharing is the result of a large group of scientists dropping their egos and getting together to get shit done--a rare feat in academia.
I can only hope this is the first in a growing trend of scientists acting like adults and working towards a better understanding of everything.
I'm looking forward to the science wiki featuring all data and findings of all the scientists in the world. I can only imagine what would happen if all the best research minds in the world collaborated to create a repository of their collective knowledge.
To quote the Instapundit, "Faster please."
