Just imagine if we had a few thousand hackers working on this stuff full-time, what could be accomplished.

Here's hoping it happens.

An iPhone app and an *.io domain name? I'm content with the thousands of neurobiologists working on this stuff full-time.

I use hacker here is a broader sense than someone who writes an app for $platform and names it $-er(terminated with r instead of er).

I know/have-worked-with too many MDs to believe that they are also hackers.

I am contending that the hacker is the missing part here.
