This is the question economics professor Heidi Williams asks in a new paper published in a recent issue of the Journal of Political Economy. Over a decade ago, the government-funded Human Genome Project and the private firm Celera each published work on human genome sequencing. From day one, the HGP put its sequenced genes in the public domain, while Celera relied on IP rights to protect its work, selling data to firms and requiring licenses for any commercial products developed.</p> <p class="ds-paragraph dspace-link"> <a href="/web/20130703094150/http://dspace.mit.edu/browse?value=Williams%2C+Heidi+L.&type=author">Explore Professor Williams' research</a> </p> </div> <div class="ds-static-div newsitem"> <p class="ds-paragraph title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130703094150/http://libraries.mit.edu/sites/news/research-news-boyden/11523/">Boyden honored for optogenetics work</a> </p> <p class="ds-paragraph dateline">May 1st, 2013</p> <p class="ds-paragraph">Ed Boyden, an associate professor of Biological Engineering and Brain and Cognitive Sciences, has won Brandeis University鈥檚 Jacob Heskel Gabbay Award in Biotechnology and Medicine.

In March, Boyden was also honored for this work by winning (along with five others) the Grete Lundbeck European Brain Research Prize, known as the Brain Prize.

They've never stopped. Their program, the Thai Family Research Project (part of the Townsend Thai Project), includes surveys of 2,880 households and 262 community groups. It has resulted in hundreds of thousands of data points, making it one of the largest datasets in the developing world. Among their findings is that much of Thailand鈥檚 expanding economy is coming from rural areas. They鈥檝e now written a book, Chronicles from the Field, which delves into statistics but also recounts the human side of doing field work. "Organizations deal with people, and this is all about the people," Townsend tells the MIT News. "You need to build up trust. The households need to understand why you're asking them all these questions, and you need to be honest with them. By going back, you establish that you care."</p> <p class="ds-paragraph dspace-link"> <a href="/web/20130703094150/http://dspace.mit.edu/browse?value=Townsend%2C+Robert&type=author">Explore Professor Townsend's research</a> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div id="ds-options-wrapper"> <div id="ds-options"> <div id="accordion"> <h1 class="ds-option-set-head">Browse</h1> <div xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" id="aspect_viewArtifacts_Navigation_list_browse" class="ds-option-set"> <ul class="ds-options-list"> <li> <h2 class="ds-sublist-head">All of DSpace@MIT</h2> <ul xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" class="ds-simple-list sublist"> <li> <a href="/web/20130703094150/http://dspace.mit.edu/community-list">Communities & Collections</a> </li> <li xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <a href="/web/20130703094150/http://dspace.mit.edu/browse?type=dateissued">By Issue Date</a> </li> <li xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <a href="/web/20130703094150/http://dspace.mit.edu/browse?type=author">Authors</a> </li> <li xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <a href="/web/20130703094150/http://dspace.mit.edu/browse?type=title">Titles</a> </li> <li xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <a href="/web/20130703094150/http://dspace.mit.edu/browse?type=subject">Subjects</a> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <h1 xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" class="ds-option-set-head">My Account</h1> <div xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" id="aspect_viewArtifacts_Navigation_list_account" class="ds-option-set"> <ul class="ds-simple-list"> <li> <a href="/web/20130703094150/http://dspace.mit.edu/login">Login</a> </li> <li xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/"> <a href="/web/20130703094150/http://dspace.mit.edu/register">Register</a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" xmlns="http://di.tamu.edu/DRI/1.0/" id="ds-footer-wrapper"> <div id="ds-footer"> <div id="ds-footer-left"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130703094150/http://libraries.mit.edu/"> <img alt="MIT Libraries" src="/web/20130703094150im_/http://dspace.mit.edu/themes/MIT-Mirage/images/logo_mit_libraries_144x60.png"/> </a> </div> <div id="ds-footer-center"> All items in DSpace@MIT are protected by original copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated. </div> <div id="ds-footer-right"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130703094150/http://libraries.mit.edu/forms/dspace-help.html">DSpace@MIT Help</a> </div> <a xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1" class="hidden" href="/web/20130703094150/http://dspace.mit.edu/htmlmap">聽</a> </div> </div> <div class="">MIT-Mirage</div> </div> <script src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130703094150js_/http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript">聽</script> <script type="text/javascript">!window.jQuery && document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/jquery-1.6.2.min.js">聽<\/script>')</script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/web/20130703094150js_/http://dspace.mit.edu/themes/MIT-Mirage/lib/js/jquery-ui-1.8.15.custom.min.js">聽</script> <script src="/web/20130703094150js_/http://dspace.mit.edu/themes/MIT-Mirage/lib/js/jquery.treeview.min.js" type="text/javascript"> // expanding tree</script> <script src="/web/20130703094150js_/http://dspace.mit.edu/themes/MIT-Mirage/lib/js/jquery.carouFredSel-6.2.0-packed.js" type="text/javascript"> // foo</script> <script src="/web/20130703094150js_/http://dspace.mit.edu/themes/MIT-Mirage/lib/js/jquery.infieldlabel.min.js" type="text/javascript"> // inFieldLabels http://fuelyourcoding.com/scripts/infield/</script> <script src="/web/20130703094150js_/http://dspace.mit.edu/themes/MIT-Mirage/lib/js/mit-effects.js" type="text/javascript"> // foo </script> <script type="text/javascript"> runAfterJSImports.execute(); </script></body></html>
