    yup. Ironically, NIH grants lead to quite tangible discoveries, and institutions with the highest indirects (overhead funding) usually have proportionally higher rate of major discoveries. So the original poster isn’t wrong about this hamstringing US biomedical research. On another thread someone proposed that Canada should have a grant-buyout brain drain program for refugees from US academia. It was actually a pretty smart one. The EU could also bank on this.

          Even worse… They’re going to celebrate it.

          Deny university funding, dismantle the department of education, religious schools become the only institutions that can survive, government funnels money into the “best” educational choice…

          I see where this is going & I hate it already.
