| That's thorns and other nonsense .... |
Cancer stem cells, gene therapy, Alzheimer's and neurodegenerative diseases such ... are some of the words that open the safe of the funders (whether public or private) and generating public interest in scientific news, well ... that and the issue of the spines on the penis, but that talk another day because the sensationalism of news (at least in this website the deal in a more serious) and that makes me sick. Does anyone, besides the authors, read the entire article before posting that stupid review that is the least important of the conclusions of the work? ah, of course, the issue is that who cares about the evolution or development of the brain when there penises!
Sorry, back to the subject, that I miss. Magic words, how to make money the Kings put their eyes on you, those politicians, officials responsible for that you can conduct your research and in most cases, although this is a mean to them because you can not ask the curriculum, have had no biology classes that the Institute and if they know what the DNA will be the second possibility that comes to mind behind the newspaper. Well, these people are responsible for judging that project you've spent months outlining and planning to get the necessary funds (or at least the minimum) to take place. Addition there is an equally or more serious problem than the lack of "judges" and the question is why?. For a scientist that the product of their research has practical application and not necessarily add value to it, so much of the profession is engaged in the so-called basic science on the other hand is only the base any applied science because as children we were taught you can not start the house from the roof by more than a few will endeavor to play to find cures for diseases that do not even understand the causes or to seek remedies in models that are even closer humans (I speak mainly as Alzheimer's disease or mouse models of depression and antidepressants development, where drug failures in coming to the market, when publishing the results of meta-study on the effects of new treatments are found to be similar to placebo treatment, are common). And it's the second time, I return to rave, even if you can imagine which way the shots: including any of these terms so fashionable, so many sound are among the people, implies a general interest on the one hand, something The assessment officer know (understand is another story) and if it is offered as a promise on the horizon hidden in the last three lines of projection or significance of the project that there are implications for progress in the treatment of X or Y disease impact / fashion, you have in the pot.
For those interested in what takes this 2011 to across the pond IN it seems most is to talk about autism, so I follow with interest the progress of the trends on this side to see if U.S. influence is also felt in this regard.

| Autism is fashionable. Pity that something so hard to become superficial. |
you but I do not know that they are the rules of the game gives me grief and rage, because as long as we play will not be able to make anyone understand that science is a project of more than 4 years (which is what lasts one term) and you can not especially tangible fruits expect (and more in monetary terms) in the short term because knowledge can not be quantified on a scale so short (temporal and physical). However, if left to grow so if you can measure its effects ... or need more evidence that countries that invest more in science are at the forefront of all economic indicators in the world (USA, Sweden, Switzerland)? recommend reading this document, which sets out in Great Britain but now also is passing downs in terms of investment in Science with major cuts. On the other hand, who is the bravest dare to bell the cat in the current situation and not to write the abracadabra you open the cave of robbers?
