It's most interesting to learn that, after all the fiery rhetoric about how failings of the Bush Administration with regard to science funding, and the need to boost it (by the democrats), it was a republican (Sen. Spector) who actually made it happen. As a biomedical researcher who is dependent on NIH funding, I am delighted at the prospect of new money, but appalled by the way in which it is being implemented. $10 billion dollars is being thrown at the NIH with the goal of "promoting economic recovery", which is not what the NIH is about. In the mad rush to spend this money in a manner consistent with Obama's political agenda, we can only hope that the noble mission of the NIH is not permanently corrupted.

Thank You Si
