Howard Hughes Medical Institute - clones are us...

Janelia Farms is the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's place to be for making clones, stem cells, and flubber. It's a world-class medical center and it's the leading non-governmental medical center with the biggest budget... about $13 billion for an endowment ( NIH is about $30 billion ). But at NIH, scientists can't do what they want... the federal government needs to answer to the people. But at Howard Hughes scientists are encouraged to do what they want. Outstanding scientists are given $1 million over five years to do their research. Although they have to give up their current positions in academia or industry, researchers get to build their team and live and work at "Janelia Farms". Janelia Farms is based on the models MRC Cambridge and Bell Labs. Janelia Farms is located in Ashburn, Virginia. Speedy noticed that the big difference between private and public medical institutions is not the cloning or stem cells lying around, but the bathrooms and boardrooms!... cant beat those corporate toilets... ( although federal toilets probably costs more )... visit the webpage for more info - http://www.hhmi.org/janelia/
