Researchers at UVa may have found a key to Alzheimer's

Of course not. There are billions and billions of dollars from foundations that support these causes.

 

That research is largely not in basic research, like this. Private research in medicine is highly concentrated in applied settings that build on foundations of basic research.

 

Yep. My son is a researcher at a top university. Only thing he has seen is the decrease in overhead costs.

 

Here is what is happening at Hopkins:

Federal cuts leaving large impact on Johns Hopkins University

 

Sorry future (insert disease) patients, we don't have a cure or new treatments because we gave everyone a shot at a job or promotion. It's the price you pay.

 

Yep. As a Hopkins graduate I get their frequent emails about the doom and gloom cuts. The reality is that cuts are not as dramatic as they make it sound. No cuts are certainly better and increases in funding is even better.

 

Let's just say that I know some folks there: they really are on a hiring freeze and a lot of people are quite worried about their jobs after large-scale layoffs. The school is trying to at least maintain the employees that want to stay for the next academic year, but, without resolution on the funding and international student issues, it is going to get a lot worse. Hopkins leadership has actually been pretty measured in their communications as they don't want to end up targeted.

 

Yep, just need to shutdown anti semetic activities much faster

 

Sure, that's it...

 

Is there any topic you don’t know everything about?
It’s really quite astounding.

 

That's incorrect. Foundations choose who and how much money they want to give to. They might give it to Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases for strictly lewy body research (Maybe fund one researcher) or a very large organization like The American Cancer Society for them to choose how to spend the money wisely.

 

You’re a Johns Hopkins grad and a UF grad?
I’m assuming you attended one of these schools for a graduate program?

 

USAID is a government money laundering organization.

 

If we are talking purely foundations, that is a tiny percentage of total funding. Most private funding is for-profit.

 

No, it really isn't. I'm suspecting, based on this response, that you have no idea what money laundering is. Money laundering is to take illegally obtained funds and make them appear legal. Government funds are collected legally and expenditures, in the US, are well documented. It is not at all money laundering.

 

Yes, I don't know whether other people should be mowing their lawns.

 

You struggle with reading comprehension at times but you always have something to say.
Simply astounding…

 

Undergrad at UF, graduate school at Hopkins

 

That is impressive.
Mind if I ask what you studied?
