They have like one person at the hospital who occasionally publishes with Harvard credentials but they are funded by the Open Medicine Foundation which is a private charity. I don’t think it’s ironic for me to wish the country didn’t pump half it’s research money into a couple elite universities mostly rich people get into. I’d like to see it distributed in a less centralised way. permalink fedilink source parent
