Did you know that Yale University received a grant for $435 thousand bucks to study the size and shape of Duck *****es? I am not kidding. Apparently some are like corkscrews.
I know.
That really surprised me. I wonder what.....

"The Trump administration's budget blueprint calls for reducing National Institutes of Health spending by $5.8 billion, but the chief executive officer of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis said now is the time to increase investment in cancer research.
"We as an institution do not comment on the political landscape and decisions that are being made, but in general, great progress has been made in cancer, great progress has been made in our understanding of the drivers of cancer and how we can use that information most effectively treating patients," St. Jude CEO Dr. James R. Downing said.
Amid proposed Trump cuts, St. Jude CEO says now's the time for cancer research investment
"The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) would see a $15.1 billion reduction (18% funding cut). HHS seeks to enhance and protect the health and well-being of all Americans. HHS administers a host of programs that impact health, social services, and overall wellbeing for millions of Americans
HHS includes dozens of agencies and offices including:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) would see a $5.8 billion reduction (18% funding cut). The NIH is the largest source of funding for medical research in the world. The President’s budget calls for the twenty-seven centers and institutes that make up the NIH to undergo a “major reorganization”
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is a part of the NIH. The NCI coordinates the National Cancer Program which conducts and supports research, training, and health information dissemination. Due to the work of the NCI, significant progress has been made in the fight against cancer with the overall rate of death from the disease decreasing for over a decade.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administers health care programs and insurance for older Americans, people with lower incomes, pregnant women, children, people with disabilities, and others
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the control and supervision of food, medications, medical devices, and other products
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) leads public efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation."
President Trump’s Budget Significantly Reduces Funding for Cancer Research
"Given the volume and nature of NIH- and NCI-funded cancer research, it is unlikely that the private sector or charitable foundations could make up the difference should the White House's proposed budget cuts be adopted by congress.
These cuts “would not be mitigated in any meaningful way by private-sector investment,” Mr Pugach said. “It is not the type of research that the private sector typically invests in as it is often viewed as too tenuous or risky, where the horizon line for commercialization is widely viewed as being too long for a sufficient return on investment.”

"The White House’s proposal also includes a $314 million cut to the CDC, affecting some of its occupational safety, public health, and HIV/AIDS programs; a $350 million cut to the National Science Foundation; a $100 million cut to mental health grants given under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration; and a $40 million decrease in FDA staffing."
