Money and Fraud

Too little money for research, and you get fraud as a result. Though too much money seems to be a problem as well:
Texas's $3 billion [per 10 years] cancer research agency is in trouble again: Its peer review system appears to have come apart. The entire eight-member scientific review council of the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) is stepping down, with most citing concerns about the integrity of the agency's peer review process. Many members of CPRIT's 100-strong roster of peer reviewers have begun to follow.
Looks like the NCI isn't the only one that got a little bit sloppy with billions from the "war on cancer".

Comments are most welcome! But please:

- No SPAM whatsoever, no supplements, no pharmaceuticals, no herbs or any other advertisements

- Absolutely no quack-doctors pushing their quack-BS websites (and if you are a quack, I will call you out)

- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent

Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.

If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)
