PEOPLE WILL STOP SCIENCE FROM HAPPENING!

The biggest stop to science progress is still HUMAN.  Full of politics and a little greed and above all full of competitive spirit.  You ask for help to complete a project, the value of the project does not come first.  Money, who are you, who do you know.  What you may achieve without us? all irrelevent questions will stop progress on research of public health important.  For the Universties, the spirit of competition comes first.
Below  is the perfect example:

"

Thank you very much for your recent  tissue request.  After review, I would like to seek the following information before presenting your request to the committee.

I see that you have now marked the IRB Status as “Exempt.” Can you explain how this research is exempt? You explain in the description that protocols have been approved for both Dr. Kankonde’s and your labs, but do those apply to this specific research protocol/proposal?

Also, are you a named PI on this grant?

Do you have a title at your institution, such as Assistant Professor, Director, Researcher, etc? This should be put in the “Title” section, not “Dr.”

Can you please spell out UTEP and CRBCM? Also, are these the institutions where the research will be performed? I see you are using a gmail address, so am just seeking if this will be done through Dr. K Cancer Clinic instead of at University of Texas El Paso.

Your research plan states that Dr. Kankonde has approval to supply the 50 fresh lung cancer tissue samples.  If so, why are you seeking 50 samples from the bank? Please clarify here, just so the committee is not confused!

Lastly, do you have any preliminary data or significant articles to show those 3 cancer genes are important in establishing early detection of lung cancer?

Thanks,"

This is what the CRBCM has to deal with daily to block advances!

"Can you spell out UTEP....instead of at the University of Texas "  This question tell you many things and raises question on INTENTIONS?  How can one request what they know?
