Why, what would the opposite of being in the NIH be? I don't get it what you're trying to say about the person that "called you out" on the NIH link and your opinions.
- et2o 12y agoSomeone who left the NIH system to work at a biotech company Because I can't reply below: It's a little disingenuous to suggest you never benefitted from the NIH system if you've gotten a PhD at a life-sciences institution. Nearly all of the money at these types of places comes from the NIH, even if you were never specifically on an NIH grant.
- dnautics 12y agoI've never worked for the NIH (I've never even applied for an NIH grant, and I was only paid off of one for maybe 6 months), and I certainly don't work for a biotech.
