      A lot of scientist have great ideas but they are shy about sharing or developing technologies out of them, so I would like to create an organization that would take care of that.

      Need to bring people together from different disciplines, backgrounds and expertise to look at problems from different angles so having enough funding to do this would be great!

      I would establish a company and bring people from different backgrounds like engineers, accountant, software developers, farmers and develop new products that better manage food production and distribution and will ensure that we produce food that is enough for everyone. This will eliminate hunger from the world! as there are currently 690 million people around the world which sleep hungry and do not have enough food to eat!

      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 reliable wireless connectivity to rural areas.

      I would get a huge lab with all the best equipment and bring the best professionals to help me. Then I would like to organize educational and science programs in other countries, especially in developing. I would like to help the new generation of scientist grew and spread knowledge around the world.

      A lot of funding does not necessarily mean that the best research can happen in that particular group, however what that funding can help towards is getting the best people with good expertise in different fields together to counter something that is of grave importance to all of us right now, such as the virus or climate change.
      Hope it answers your question:)

      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!
