Well, let me just say though, that I, even though I just wrote a book about really a big set of problems in Alzheimer's disease, I do feel hopeful in certain ways.

So what you see is that when institutions like universities and journals and government agencies have dropped the ball on image falsification in Alzheimer's and in other fields, you've seen this sort of army of volunteer image sleuths and you've seen the rise of important whistleblowers to point out these problems and to force institutions to take notice.

This has been a very, very important and large development that I think ultimately is going to greatly benefit patients. It's certainly going to change the nature of research in Alzheimer's disease. It's already having that effect. And consequently, it's going to create openings for new thinking.

And there are people waiting in the wings to try to get support for new ideas and new approaches to studying these problems that will benefit from the sort of emergence of crowdsourcing and volunteers who are able to do things that institutions can't always do because of the constraints that they feel legally or in other ways.
