Thought there was some interesting points that can be related to the topic of ME research funding (or lack thereof). 1. A promise of $500 million over 10 years was made to what the article calls "a low research priority". 2. The promised money can go towards targets identified by the "cancer moonshot". 3. The promised money will encourage scientists into the field. 4. The extra money will make it more likely for pharma to get involved by doing the initial work for them. 5. In one opinion, $50 million per year won't make much difference to childhood cancer research but could be used in other ways to get pharma involved. https://www.statnews.com/2019/02/08/trump-childhood-cancer-research/
