I can guarantee if there are any government funding instruments in place in the respective countries of operation, one way or another it will be gouged by the big corps. Example from my home country: the government heavily subsidized the bi

No room for gentlemen scientists when there are plethoras of people out there who will happily crucify you and negate everything you've achieved if you happen to have the slightest social dent in your image. To be untouchable be openly
