Scanning the Horizons of Bioscience - Group Discussion |
Pre-Discussion Questionnaire
The Frontiers Group is always scanning the horizon for the newest ideas in bioscience. We deeply value the thought leaders in our awardee and Allen Institute communities and want to know what you think are the most important emerging frontiers or obstacles to progress.
Please answer the following questions with your initial thoughts. Responses can be informal and as brief or long as you want – we are hoping to spark ideas in preparation for our group discussion. We will pick ~3 questions that had the most interesting engagement to discuss as a group during the “Scanning the Horizons of Bioscience” discussion session on Day 3 of the symposium.
Your answers will be saved for each page once you select "Next." You can answer part of the questionnaire and revisit it later as long as you are accessing it from the same device.
Preview of Questions:
1. What are the most exciting new frontiers or big open questions in bioscience? How does your answer change if you only consider areas outside your own research?
2. What specific areas, methods, or questions are ripe for early-stage funding opportunities?
3. What fields or disciplines, if brought together, would accelerate research and discovery? If you could add expertise or technology from another field to your research program, what would it be and why?
4. What are the biggest challenges facing the bioscience field?
5. What are the biggest challenges facing your lab or current research?
6. What barriers remain to accessing, using, or sharing data and tools?
7. What types of support are (or would be) most valuable for you at distinct career stages (early, mid, late)?
8. In what ways will Artificial Intelligence have the biggest impact on biology?
