There are always good questions to ask,and always smart people interested in asking them. We are only at the beginning of understanding the human genome sequence for example. I agree that things are getting 'more difficult' for scientists in many ways, and foresee a gradual decline in scientific productivity from europe and north america, as a function of some other economic measures like per capita or per gdp or some such.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549955924729359362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522311.post-26106067827347927772011-03-08T12:21:51.318-05:002011-03-08T12:21:51.318-05:00The latter -- although I was trying to say it'...The latter -- although I was trying to say it's not just about funding. I'm thinking more about our capacity to do the experiments to answer scientific questions. <br /><br />I'm not thinking the "end of science".Zen Faulkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811309183398223358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522311.post-27572112064149709902011-03-08T12:15:16.597-05:002011-03-08T12:15:16.597-05:00I think I am confused.

Are you stating that we are nearing an end to discoverable scientific principles or nearing an end of funding?Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525246852660691811noreply@blogger.com
