    Idk if the current model on funding is very good. I have heard from many scientists about putting spin on proposals to have them sent to different reviewing committees because the reviewing committee most applicable is known to only fund science from labs aligned with them and not fund any ideas that could challenge their models. I have also heard from at least one lab about how its great to come from that lab, because that PI is on a funding committee and so your future is more secure if you have been mentored by them. IDK 🤷‍♂

    Dont people ever question the 'geopolitics' of viral spread ??
    ...which is seemingly more relavant in today's world and the contention of natural outbreak vs bio weapons.

    There was a swine flu scare a few years ago. A vaccine was trialled in a local U.K. school and a girl got narcolepsy as a result. So, stop messing about with gain of function and take good care of your farm animals!

    Gain of function reaearch is risky. You must acknowoldge that. And you do not. Why do you want to study viruses when you do not understand fully immunology yet ??? I guess, there are many profiting financially from gain of function, right🤑🤮

    the reason Energy and Commerce is holding meeting with HHS is because science is so insignificant under the governance of most of the worlds countries that it is most always placed under the economic umbrella. The EC committee have subcommittees that include Health, "Innovation, data and commerse" as well as a government oversight roll. So 100% relevant. tell your other hosts that people like her, trying to be condescending towards our nations decision markers, is what gives science a bad rap. The burden of effective science communication is on scientists and not nonscientists. Its snobbery lilke that which makes people distrustful. Didnt even deliberate both sides and the hosts are already pretending to be better than others. Disgusting.
