Angsuman and Alan,
Well, I have no master plan, but what I feel is the biggest stumbling block in slowing our cure is this: Private cure research organizations unable to share and collaborate because of the risk of losing the big prize. I do not fault them for this, it's basically unavoidable--they are businesses. I truely beleive in my heart that this is where 'paydirt' will be struck, in private industry. (I'd be happy to be wrong) But what is the solution to this? Beyond my power, I'm sure.
....Maybe some sort of incentive program/process led by the JDF?
