- lsh 8y agothank you for the link
- rrock 8y agoI'm going to guess that psychology research is far less expensive. To give you a sense of perspective here, $25k will get you something like 4 months of a full time employee at the "fresh out of college" experience level, including benefits and research consumables. That also assumes that you have all of the equipment in place. If all there doing is running a few western blots, because that's all they can do on this budget, well then ok. But I'll venture to guess that that's a far cry from reproducing the most important results in these papers.
- LyndsySimon 8y agoAs far as I know, the problem wasn't primarily one of underestimating cost or effort - it was one of funding. The non-profit that did this has downsized quite a bit since the RP:CB began and has been seeking other funders.
