Open Medicine Foundation Canada: https://www.omfcanada.ngo/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=news I donate to the OMF - can now receive a Canadian tax receipt ETA: It would be great to see some OMF funds going to Canadian ME researchers - there are collaborations, but I don't know if funds are...

The following has come to my attention (thanks @Philipp): http://dip21.bundestag.de/dip21/btd/19/126/1912632.pdf It is a reply to a list of questions which a few German MPs put to the government: The answers basically say that it's not the Government's concern, it's up to the scientists. The...
