To those who are criticizing Ron Davis above:
In the video, he says that he DID find private donors to support Rahim’s work on the nanoneedle, but Rahim’s department at UC Davis told him that if he wants tenure, he has to get NIH grants. Rahim has submitted several applications, all of which have been denied. Ron discussed the dumb reasons given on the most recent denial. NIH claims that the biology of the disease must be understood before they will fund the nanoneedle.
Ron is working incredibly hard to find answers for all of us.
