Really? I think it has been in the press for a couple of decades now. At any rate, it's probably wise to spread the research money around. The war on cancer started with Nixon is about 40 years old, and we still have a long way to go? My hope is that crowd sourcing and funding really catches for science on in the next few years. Wouldn't it be great to have a lot more resources, both money and people, working on interesting science problems?
