Listening to @seanmcarroll's podcast episode on the history of funding in physics (https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2020/03/30/90-david-kaiser-on-science-money-and-power/ …) makes it seem like neuro is in a similar crisis of sorts as physics was. The largescale, well-organized & thought through projects of the Allen need to become more the normhttps://twitter.com/AllenInstitute/status/1247177582526652416 …

In general in bio, I see a big gap in the funding of 20-100 M$ scale projects to develop tech or infra to collect data we want. Of which several are needed. Examples: Etruscan shrew connectome, screen all combos of aging drugs/factors, scale up sc-proteomics tech, etc

With industry coming on board w brain engineering coming of age (e.g. 200 people at Neuralink), philanthropy funding big projects, and Simons moving to bigger teams, we're already stepping in this direction. Not sure how 1000s (as opposed to 10s) of labs could be coordinated
