This is Scientific Americans 60 Second Science. I'm Steve Mursky.

Collaboration in science across the world is the key to a better world in the future.

Doesn't matter whether it's drug resistance or

climate change or social inequalities. All of these I believe can be broached by

science. Jeremy Farrar, director of the Welcome Trust, one of the world's biggest non-governmental

funders of scientific research, earlier today January 23rd.

He spoke to Scientific American Editor-in-Chief Marriott-christina at the World Economic Forum in Davos,

after they both took part in the Global Science Outlook discussion at the forum.

And nobody, not myself, not our organization, welcome.

No organization is going to solve this on their own.

And so we've launched a campaign called Together Science Can,

which brings together people from absolutely around the world

to say, to stand up for those things that we care about that people

can work together across borders they can be friends they can share their

information then they can eventually make the world a better place.

You can see video of the entire discussion that took place at Davos earlier today.

Just Google World Economic Forum at Davos Global Science.
