Sir James W. Black, 1988 Nobel Laureate in Medicine, said: "In the culture I grew up in you did your work and you did not put your arm around it to stop other people from looking -- you took the earliest possible opportunity to make knowledge available."
Knowledge is power. Shared knowledge is more powerful still.
