Mark Zuckerberg’s company wants to make the results of scientific research more freely available.
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a corporation created by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan to advance a variety of social causes such as medical research, is giving a multi-year grant to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory to help support bioRxiv, a website that hosts biology papers before they are published in peer-reviewed journals, said John Inglis, the website’s co-founder.
