Crazy change from what I've seen before. First, a social media platform (Facebook) is openly getting involved in the academic research scene and, second, they're doing it through a competition for funding available directly to students, without the need to work for a particular institution. Support of knowledge and IP w/o an exclusive contract! Very, very cool. True innovation through collaboration (and between the worlds I work in, as a bonus). Can you tell I'm excited?? - M
