It is really up to each of us to decide how fast we age and how long we maintain our quality of life.
As with many challenges we face in life, not deciding is often a tacit decision.

The right approach!
โ€œIn science weโ€™ve moved from thinking about subjects... to participants & partners,โ€ Brody said. โ€œItโ€™s taken a generation to do it, it is actually valuable & respectful in the approach to research.โ€

Open Science isn't happening - 0.6% shared
Though value of data sharing is immense
Let's change how we think about who manages OUR data
'These findings suggest that there is a wide gap between declared and actual sharing of clinical trial data.'

โ€œData should be a living thing,โ€ says Hausler of GA4GH
YES!
Institutional ownership models not working
The solution - partner with participants... transparency & control lead to trust
Honoring individual privacy rights is asset not liability

'Now is the time to ask:
Which philosophy do I want to pursue?
Do I want a business that serves my customers?
Or one that takes advantage of customers to serve my business?
In the end, only one of these philosophies is sustainable for the long-term.'

Happening in plain sight!
'Revelations buried in U.S. SEC filings, & unearthed by Bloomberg, showed Blackstone will begin to โ€œpackage and sell dataโ€ from the companies it acquires as a fresh revenue stream.'
