Ok, sorry to be a rotten spammer. But based on some of the previous posts we've had, I thought you all might be interested (or at least willing) in signing this White house petition to support NIH funding. Remember, "Big Brother is watching you" (by that I mean mk, who will ban you from the sight if you don't sign, right?), so make the right choice.

I signed it, but only because of your blatant scare tactics.

Its true that 33 would represent a very paltry increase, but any increase is better than flat (their flat is actually negative, considering it doesn't outpace inflation, as far as I can tell). I think the author of the petition didn't want to ask for a significant increase, because (s)he knew it wouldn't be taken seriously, given the vehement opposition to any spending that exists in DC right now.
