It also requires looking beyond publications and citations in evaluating impact. "If our departments and scientific societies and even our funding agencies are judging research impact solely by the number of publications, citations, and H-indices, that can reduce risk taking and stand in the way of those willing to step out of their norm and work on solutions to the crises that we face today." Richmond has been working to broaden the evaluation of scientific impact.

Students should be supported with funds from private enterprise, he said, so that they can get a living wage early in their careers and be able to expand academic research into private enterprise. Tech transfer offices and lawyers need to be tasked with facilitating the science rather than maximizing profits.

A new sister company to DeepMind is using this information and developing other new artificial intelligence and computational technologies for accelerating the drug discovery process. With its 1,000-plus scientists and engineers, DeepMind has also sought to create a hybrid of top-down guidance and bottom-up creativity.

MEASURING IMPACT In response to a question about how best to measure scientific impact beyond publications and citations, Richmond said that "you have to know what your values are." When the goals of individuals and organizations are clear, metrics can be aligned to measure those values. -- Geraldine Richmond Thus, publications and citations give an indication of productivity, but they are not necessarily a measure of the influence of scientists and their research on a broader scale.

Teachers and their students can sing songs, make up stories, engage in activities -- "and we always use dodgeballs, because they're such an important tool for teaching science." Once children learn about hydrogen bonds, they can learn about DNA -- "the secret to life." Once they understand hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules, they can learn about compartmentalization and cells. Once they learn about how electrons move, they can build solar cells and batteries.

In his presentation, Dzirasa described a new world that could come into existence in future decades as a result of advances in science and technology. All information could be accessible to anyone, including massive amounts of data from projects like a cancer moonshot or brain initiative.
