To stop the government weaponising a clean energy formula, a rebellious scientist uploads it into her mind and must find a suitable donor for the formula before it fades away forever.

I need some connective tissue here. How does uploading it stop it from being used? I am guessing it to is a theft.

Why is it fading?

How is it uploaded? Matrix style plug in the head?

The gaps are a little big for me to fill in.

What's the difference between "upload" and old-fashioned "memorize"?

And how will "uploading" stop the big bad government from its malevolent purposes? ?When I upload pictures, say to Tumblr or Flickr, the source files don't disappear on my computer.

And ?if the source file were erased what's to stop the person or people who devised the formula from recreating it from memory? ?Or hard copy? ?Or restoring it from backup?

I just don't see how "uploading" achieves her purpose of denying others the formula.

Is she the only one with the formula? Wouldn't there be other people working on it or it would be copied somewhere if the government are planning on adapting it? And why is it fading and will a donor prevent that or just prolong it? Just a few thoughts, your logline isn't long you have some room to extend it.

For some reason it seems to me like the SCIFI equivalent of Still Alice.
