Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird.

From bench to business: translating academic advances into industry innovations

In this Perspective, we hear from the six researchers who have transitioned from academia to industry to help guide the development of bioscience companies:

FDA-NIH Workshop: Reducing Animal Testing The FDA is hosting a workshop on reducing animal testing. The workshop is open to current FDA and NIH employees.

The NIH is asking scientists and the public to comment on plans to drastically limit animal model research. If you think animal models remain important tools for basic and clinical research tell them! Click the link below and scroll down to send your comments!

NIH Plans to Cap Publisher Fees, Dilute “Scientific Elite” Director of the National Institutes of Health says that capping research journals’ open-access fees will help rein in the $19 billion academic publishing industry and bolster scientific debate.

NIH Director say journals "bully scientists into paying large fees".

No. Academia is a prestige economy in which scientific leadership chose to make journals the currency & Gold OA was deemed 'the way'. Publishers just cashed in; you don't have to pay $10K
