Big Problems Facing Science
The only problem in science is funding. Everything else is an opportunity.

If we had unlimited funding, most of the other problems would indeed take care of themselves. The problem is the "unlimited" part...

The problem is not only the level of funding, but they way the funding is distributed. Science could live happily with the current expenditure if the way the funding was distributed was smarter.

Well the general lack of funding and the way the limited funding is distributed is the ultimate cause of all the problems of science.
I guess solving the funding problem is an opportunity, but it seems to be beyond us.
