Biology is related to medicine, but not researched quite the same way.

Medicine certainly has it's own issues, but they're working on it:

I mean really, the Churchill quote about democracy applies here as well: the current way of doing research is the worst possible way of doing it, except for all the other ways we've tried before.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Myriad Database

http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2015/10/filling-i...

VUSes that actually could be clinically significant are hoarded, and conversely, some companies claim to know that certain VUSes are not based on their own proprietary data that no one else sees/double checks. meanwhile the actual data comes from patients, who are left in the dark

That's just cruel. Comparatively, at least CS gets math formulations
