I see an intrinsic paradox in #OpenScience and the pressure of academic #patent race. In my view, science should be open and researchers in academia encouraged not to patent. Patents in private sector should also include a 1% share to give back to basic science as acknolwledgment of its commonwealth. To make it fair one could think of a universal non profit foundation dedicated to provide funds for basic science. or managed by @unesco Is it such a #crazyidea?

#Dengue virus responsible for the Dengue fever is now offically in the south of France. A situation that was predicted 20 years ago when #cnrs scientists working on the virus were crying for research funding. Now that we are standing by the abyss of an other major health problem, will government learn and accept to fund basic research?➡️ It is the only preparedness policy that work!
