Biotech Values

OT:

I guess I wasn't asking for a list of what you do. It's a matter of what ALL researchers do. So I find most of your response to be besides the point.

Nor do I find this a pharma versus academic science thing. I'm just worried about what I contribute to, and that's the academic side. I think we owe it to ourselves as a community to do the most reliable / reproducible science possible, and let history sort out what was important and what was incremental.

Also, I do not agree with this concept that airing basic science's dirty laundry somehow helps those who are against it. Silly senators who are going to complain about 1.5 MILLION DOLLARS SPENT ON FRUIT FLY RESEARCH!!!! are going to complain regardless. Their supposed "ammunition" is science's strength, and they'll never realize that.

That's all I got on this topic.
