THE PROBLEM WITH ACADEMIA - Are you familiar with the Bayh Dole Act of 1980?  This is a sort of Ground Zero to the corruption within education and especially science and medicine.  It allows any insitution in receipt of government funding, to be allowed to Patent all discoveries.  And it seems a large amount of activity has happened since this was legislated, that appears as though medical and science students have been used as "discovery mules" and "pill sales people".
