That research is done by graduate student slaves working on their PHDs. The ones getting a 35K annual stipend to live on.
This is why my son chose to NOT get a PHD in Biotechnology. He was offered placement at three schools. Accepted one at Ga Tech then decided against it.
I sat next to a guy on an airline flight who was in charge of managing NASA grant money. He was returning from Dartmouth. He had been a USAF pilot and an alternate space shuttle astronaut. He never got picked to go up in space though. At Dartmouth they were studying why space travel effects every astronaut’s eye balls. Everyone spending time on the International Space station becomes near sited.
That is very interesting.......
It's very curious.
