Even then, this remarkable scientist who outlined the laws of gravity knew the value of building on the accomplishments of others.rnSo when a grant proposal was submitted to build a "Facebook for scientists" to foster scientific collaboration, it just made sense. Such a social network could connect experts across scientific and geographic borders to promote collaboration on research projects.
