      I don’t think I will ever have all the funding I want to have :).

      It that happened, I would set up a team that working on cheap solutions for delivering broadband services to rural areas.

      Hi TomB, if I had all the funding I would create a team that would work solely on projects that use technology to benefit the most vulnerable in our society. It is very difficult to get funding for such projects as there isn’t always the business or economic impact must funding organizations require.

      Obviously, I would get a huge lab with the best equipment and hire the best professionals to help me. Also, I would like to organize educational and science programs in other countries, especially in developing. That would be a great way to discover new scientific talents and give the opportunity to become a scientist to those, who might not have it now.

      If I had all the funding I could ever want I would do the following!
      1) Build myself a state of the art laboratory to would improve the quality of my data
      2) I would hire a few people to help me with projects.
      3) I would try new types of experiments that no one would probably fund! More basic science questions that I personally find interesting
      4) I would learn and get help (hire some additional people) on distilling down my research and scientific knowledge to a more entertaining format (it would be so cool to have animated or videos that summarize what I do). I am not that talented though at the moment!
