It&amp;#x27;s an incredibly difficult &amp;quot;sell&amp;quot; to anyone with funds for research, and I&amp;#x27;m extremely happy that they&amp;#x27;ve found capital for it.&lt;p&gt;The foundations of our scientific knowledge need to be solidified, and from all the science news and developments, this one is the one that makes me by far the most excited for the future of science.&lt;p&gt;Next on the list, open source repositories for protocols of experiments! Maybe someone surprises me with a link to an existing solution :).</text></comment>

They are addressing what the public funders and private industry can&amp;#x27;t and won&amp;#x27;t do, but at scale this becomes really powerful. Great stuff.</text></comment>
