Today, philanthropy is critical if we are to go further, and create a step-change in the scale and scope of our work. The generosity of our supporters will accelerate discovery as never before to find breakthroughs for the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this new investment we can shift the gears, discovering more solutions more quickly by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Attracting and nurturing the best minds<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Equipping researchers to do their best work<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Accelerating the transmission of knowledge<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rapidly responding to new challenges and exciting opportunities<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For over 50 years, our people have made discoveries and developed technologies that transform our understanding of the world, leading to pioneering developments in medicine, agriculture and biotechnology. But we have no intention of stopping there. Because the best science happens when people are curious. That\u2019s what the world needs. And that\u2019s what we do. Now we must apply our curiosity and capability to some of our planet\u2019s biggest challenges.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div><!--[vf\/content]-->\n<div class=\"vf-content\">\n\n<div
