One of the positive aspects of research being done worldwide is that we are all working together. There are no secrets; the research is public and it is being published in publicly available journals. There are numerous collaborative projects. In fact, in my DIVERSE project, I have collaborators in the United States and pretty much every country in the world. We share our information, our data, and our experiences, to try to develop approaches that will be useful in every country on earth. This kind of collaboration is happening on a large scale. I would even say that Canada is a world leader in this area.
