I actually agree with Grove (and you!) in that our current process for vetting potentially helpful drugs and such is too slow and doesn't help people who might benefit from even experimental formulations. There's a lot that can be done to improve the system, and in that sense, I hope he's successful in shaking things up a bit.

One of the areas of shaking things up was the recent introduction of legislation in Congress to require any federally-funded research's results be made available for free to the public (which makes sense, since we paid for it!). This would mean research could be made more quickly and more widely available. The journal publishers, of course, are not happy.
