Prebys Foundation Announces $7 Million in Emergency Support for Biomedical Research

This rapid action by the Prebys Foundation is the kind of thing I hope other regional philanthropies are doing. It isn't the entire solution by far but it is great to see them chipping in to help investigators in the San Diego academic science community.
