"Over the past several years I have observed an ever increasing merging of the financial sector and the academic world. With more and more money pouring into scientific research we will see an increasing benefit to keeping scientific data open source. Just like much of the new blockchain and machine learning technology is kept open source, decentralizing the resources around the progression should be the main goal. Assured Science will be essential as an entity that exists for the common good, constantly striving towards prioritizing the priceless value of raw data and optimizing how we access and use scientific data."
