Many of you have heard about the
Ice Bucket Challenge to benefit ALS and all the funds it has raised to benefit
research around this disease. Here’s an article that relates this fun
awareness and fundraising effort to the negative impact that dramatic
reductions in the federal research budget have caused to research for ALS and
other similar diseases… something that our OSP team is well aware of. Also, Francis Collins, the head of NIH quoted in the article, is a U.Va. alum, having received a B.S. in Chemistry in 1970.
