We're all of us guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.

But I'm pretty good with collaborative thinking. I work well with other people.

Although filmmaking is collaborative and involves trust ultimately it is the director who holds the whole picture together in their head.

Well first of all making films is a collaborative process. You need people. You need people you trust and love and who are your friends. People you can work with.

You travel across the country you visit departments you give talks you talk about the work at your laboratory - what's going on what the opportunities are there - you talk about your own research.

Laboratories can reduce risk by implementing a proven and internationally accepted quality assurance technology that is applicable across the globe.

I was strongly encouraged by a science teacher who took an interest in me and presented me with a key to the laboratory to allow me to work whenever I wanted.

Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration wonderful things can be achieved.

We need to develop and disseminate an entirely new paradigm and practice of collaboration that supersedes the traditional silos that have divided governments philanthropies and private enterprises for decades and replace it with networks of partnerships working together to create a globally prosperous society.

But because we live in an age of science we have a preoccupation with corroborating our myths.
