What else is needed --- I think an important contribution of this editorial are the seven tasks Colglazier lists as the end that deserve high priority for governments and the worldwide scientific community:

1. Conducting Systems Analysis and Data Analytics
2. Building Online Platforms for Mutual Learning and Technology Deployment
3. Building STI Capacity and Knowledge-Based Societies
4. Providing Financing from Multiple Sources
5. Contributing to the Global Commons
6. Dealing with Technological Disruptions and Challenges
7. Contributing to Peace and Security

And of course, there are other issues missing that he didn't expand on, including the role of scientists connecting with society at large.
