I find it interesting that "big science" in physics tends to have much more centralized organization and goals than in biology. I'm mulling over the pros and cons of this, so feel free to offer thoughts on the topic! @JesParent, @AdamMarblestone, @adamcatto, etc.

It's because physicists can agree more easily on what matters, which is in turn because they understand fundamentals -- as we can measure more fundamentals in biology (e.g., full connectome) and have more theoretical convergence (e.g., AI/learning<>brain), we'll see more in bio
