  • If you can publish, get grants, bring money and prestige to your university or department, you are rewarded. Its hard to find wrong doing, easy to turn a blind eye, or difficulty holding people accountable in the system as it exists because of these pressures and how the process actually works.

    that’s how it worked before 2025. now the NIH has dried up. And it was never about “prestige”, NIH grants come with institutional overheads that used to fund the university. A $2M NIH grant could have overheads of an additional $2M to the institution, and the salaries of researchers came out of these grants, which is unique to the US system.
