29. Challenges to Health Sciences • "The medical research revolution is happening!  • 90% of data collected today will never be seen by a human eye.  • This is everyone's problem. • We must manage a growing amount of data to secure knowledge for the future." - Michael Marron, NIH

30. Unanticipated Innovation • Lesson of the Web • Network growth and value are non-linear • New technologies enable qualitatively different uses • Users become innovators
