Sergey Brin’s Search for a Parkinson’s Cure

He should just google it or something...

"relies on the classic scientific method: hypothesis, analysis, peer review, publication"

this is the classic -academic- scientific method that ends with -publication- i applaud his new research method described as --we could be looking lots of places and collecting lots of information - and if we see a pattern that could lead somewhere--

i wonder why google does not use the same strategy they used to invest their money http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1385741 - to fight parkinson - hire hundreds of researchers and let them loose without academic constraints
