Needed: Research Funding 2.0 !
I always wondered why research findings funded by tax dollars are freely available to pharma companies to make big bucks.It is a vicious cycle. It starts from taxpayer funding research projects that culminate in publishing papers. And It ends in pharmaceutical companies selling products/drugs designed based on same research findings. Unfortunately, the general public pays for both, and my question is, why should they? A company, when using research findings from a publicly funded project, should pay for it.
