If you had a trillion dollars and a year to spend it for the good of the world and the advancement of science, what would you do? It's an unimaginably large sum, yet it's only around one per cent of world GDP, and about the valuation of Google, Microsoft or Amazon.

You could solve the problem of the pandemic, for one, and eradicate malaria, and maybe cure all disease. You could end global poverty.
