Alas, as a country we're not putting the money into scientific research that we should. In fact, we're starting to leave it to foundations to pay for much research, and that means funding the pet peeves of various foundations, rather than having a plan to move forward.
This has nothing to do with any of this directly, but if you haven't heard of the All Trials initiative, give it a look, and give your signature if you agree with it. (It's an attempt to make sure all studies are published, even ones with negative results. Yeah, I know. It sounds like common sense, but it's got a long way to go. More advocates are always helpful.)
