I would say we need more Sonny in Amedica, but after pouring over his CV I think we need more Sonny's throughout orthopedic research. Due to Russia's Socialized University they have us beat. Their population is entirely high ranking scientists. Perhaps lacking funding, but through oil and natural gas they may develop routes for funding,so this may only be a solution for our continued competition for so long.. I think at this point there is no choice but to be their friend and try to develop a bff status to partnership our scientific endeavors.
