As someone who has just started balding, I have to cry bullshit on this.
The only two medical treatments for male pattern baldness were found by accident... Minoxidil was created to treat blood pressure issues and Finasteride was created for prostate issues.
- sauravc 14y agoI'm sorry for your loss, but how does it make you an expert on how much funding is given to malaria vs male pattern balding research?
- prodigal_erik 14y agoWhen billg says "if you are working on male baldness or other things you get an order of magnitude more research funding" is he only counting the unfruitful research into baldness, or is he also counting the blood pressure and prostate research that accidentally led to baldness treatments?
