Please Fund Them So They Can Fund Us
Posted by Derek
ChemJobber catches a very odd situation, as reported in C&E News. An official at a large R&D organization testifies to Congress about the importance of research funding. No surprises, eh? But get this: it's a VP of Corporate Alliances at WuXi.
Although, actually, it makes perfect sense. The more research funding there is in the U.S., the more contracting work there might be for WuXi, to make those dollars stretch further. Sensible or not, though, it does look strange.

You already took away jobs from Americans, but I notice from my collaborators they are dissatisfied with your perfomrance! So they are coming back! Enjoy the downward spiral!
Your Chemistry Needs Us More Than We Need You!

So then it is true that the members of the US Congress are either: 1. complete idiots and devoid of any sense of reality viz a viz what is happening to the "highly skilled" science-related employment sector in the the US or 2. they have a FABULOUS sense of IRONY.
Your choice

Let us not blame WuXi.
Who is making the decision to conduct lower quality med chem work in their labs?
I wonder, anyone out there working for a med chem group that strategically decided to stay in-house?
