Tópico: ciência open source

[Buckaroo Banzai]

In a perfect world, scientists share problems and work together on solutions for the good of society. In the real world, however, that's usually not the case. The main obstacles: competition for publication and intellectual property protection.

Is there a model for encouraging large-scale scientific problem solving? Yes, and it comes from an unexpected and unrelated corner of the universe: open source software development.

Muito bom!

Em retrospecto, parece uma solução óbvia. Outside of the box thinking sempre foi a melhor maneira para resolver problemas.

Infelizmente não vejo isso acontecendo a curto prazo - especialmente em Medicina e Farmácia.
