[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What the fuck is wrong with you? The NIH has value in terms of fighting diseases, etc. It is not a jobs program. It learns things to keep people alive. I am alive because of things learned at NIH.[/quote] Well, then say so but stop making the usual argument that "Junior scientists, already struggling in a highly competitive atmosphere, may not get a chance to have an academic career." As I wrote, the funding for massive and excessive graduate student and postdoc training (mandatory in essentially every NIH grant to be funded) is the # 1 cause for most "trained" struggling so much to have a career using that training (academic or not). So here: cut the about 30% of NIH budget that funds such "training" and keep and actually increase other expenditures (equipment, reagents, salary support for PIs and staff with PERMANENT positions, conference and field work travel, etc.) Deal?
