Get to it and have a good discussion. Today we are going to look at the federal governments role in funding research. I am concerned the government system of supporting research and is inefficient and often incentivizes the wrong things which leads to bad science and wasted taxpayer dollars. Weve posted examples like this National Science Foundation Study which had money being spent on ugandan gambling habits and we do it year after year.
