I wasn't going to say anthing, but I agree. Dr. Darzynkiewicz is a serious
and senior scientist who has taken time to write about the funding crisis
in US research. Altho there is rumors, that the NIH buget has been
reinstated, I have not seen it in writing. Unfortunately the practice of
flow cytometry does involve policy and politics wether we like it or not.
I commned Dr. Darzynkiewicz for taking the time to respond in the way that
he did. gemarti
