However, the Google form they ask you to fill out seems to imply that you need to be a researcher in a lab/university. Is there anyway normal people can gain access to this dataset? I would have thought that in the spirit of the competition, as demonstrated by the mandatory declaration of external data, that all datasets used should be open-source and publicly available, rather than limited to a select few competitors. Could anyone advise on this? Thanks. </p>",
