Re: Webcast regarding Taxicab Science

I think a lot of people don't realize how much science has changed in

the last few years. Many non-corporate sources for research money have

dried up.

There isn't as much money out there for research important public

health issues, especially controversial ones that could impact

businesses.

It would be interesting to look at what gets funded. Some mold-related

research has been funded because they related it to Gulf War illness

or homeland security issues. (i.e. fighting terrorism, not making

people secure in their homes)

Its hard to say. I think a lot of people would study mold related

illness if they could. A lot of people do agree that its a major cause

of illness that isn't being looked at enough. But the people who

decide where the money goes have to feel that way.. whoever they are..
