Abstract
In the final lecture, I will talk about the ways in which parts of the scientific enterprise are trying to create a world in which the opportunities to be a scientist and to share the benefits of science are available everywhere. I will talk about several initiatives, supported by governments or philanthropies, that either promote science as a global activity or improve access to advances in health care made possible by science. The initiatives will include examples funded by the US government, French-American collaborations, the World Health Organization, and others, to reduce the toll taken by malaria, cancers, and other diseases.
