“All the time we are very conscious of the huge challenges that human society has now – curing cancer, understanding the brain for Alzheimer‘s [...]. 
But a lot of the state of knowledge of the human race is sitting in the scientists’ computers, and is currently not shared […] We need to get it unlocked so we can tackle those huge problems.“
