Wine in hand, scientist Arie Moran, dean for research and development at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, pondered the dangers of mixing science and business.

Scientists make a discovery and the first thing they do is patent it, keeping important information to themselves, he fretted.Even genes are being patented, and every successful scientist seems to be a businessman.The progress of science is stunted, he said.It's too late, he lamented.Too late.
