Did you know scientists currently spend ~80% of time applying for funding instead of doing actual scientific work?
Biggest bottleneck is in the early stages, in the range of $100 to $500k, which is referred to as the "valley of death" in academia.
In the profit-maxi pharma industry, drugs that cannot be "properly" monetized, often wont even get developed at all.
Ones that do, are likely to be overpriced.
