Thanks Bob, an excellent video.
Highlights of the Friend video IMHO:
- personalized medicine (e.g. statins are ineffective on about half of people);
- the comparison between the military/industrial complex and the medical/industrial complex;
- the citizen as patient/funder/researcher;
- the big data, open data, open competition modelling approach (make the data available to everyone, pose a question, e.g. can you classify breast cancer - took just 6 weeks to beat current methods).
MJFF are running a PD competition.
