Don't Underfund Science
Congrats on setting a new tone in the White House, Pres. Gregg for commerce is a quiet victory for your access to stimulus. You've got the right plan. Don't let the funding for Science be taken out, though. My wife is a Stanford post-doc who is torn over whether to start her own lab. She's recently discovered new roles for RNA in cell division that may lead to millions of new targets for cancer treatments. If the NIH funding remains underfunded, she doesn't see a future in science.
