Given this political move, some states are aggressively, legislatively going after PHds and biotech jobs by courting private funding for research. U of Minnesota's Stem Cell Institute and Dr. Vervaillie just got a big private grant- Medtronic I think, to continue research. So then another issue is that private $, corporate entities are funding and "owning" research conducted in public universities...What scientific information, discovery should be public?
Is Bush's move making both the religious right and biotech corporations happy?
