I don&#x27;t show sympathy to people who have no track record as researchers, have never published their data or methods for peer review, over hype all their work, and rely on cute stories to get funding rather than good work.<p>I&#x27;m working on a hematological microfluidic diagnostic device in a loosely related space (which actually works), and if my team had her funding we would be flying right now. Too bad we aren&#x27;t attractive women with inspiring stories so we have to settle for grant funding.
