The drive, the interest, the need and the technology is out there!! Meanwhile we await cures for cancer, diabetes, Lupus, Arthritis...as funds elude the projects...
Diagnostics, and treatment waiting lists, continue to embarrass the National Health...
Lack of funding = lack of hospital beds and fully trained medical staff whilst they afford the accountants and beaurocrats to manage the red tape...
Major institutions such as the British Heart Foundation and the Marie Curie Trust still rely heavily on charitable donations...
You get the message?!
But at least now, we can sit back satisfied that finally a team of hard working scientists...who have devoted their valuable time, skills and knowledge...have been suitably recognised for their achievements!! They have received the Ig Nobel prize for medicine for discovering that Herring strengthen their bonding, and secure their shoal, with a complicated and unique method of communication that is so innovative it should raise an approving smile, maybe even applause from our male human contingents here, especially since its complexity is beyond the comprehension of any passing predator! We must stop a while and wonder what marvel of evolution created such an opportunistic discovery for the Herring! Hmmm...I can just picture it now, and you thought your Betta and Gourami were building those bubble nests for their women!
