The news about the likely suspension of funding promising specific research into pancreatic cancer is shocking. If this happens let’s hope Europe picks up this research and if successful the vaccine should not be sold to the USA

Robber baron is so widely used now that I thought I should remind myself who were included. Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Gould, Morgan. A cursory look at the contributions made by all except Gould suggests that many were more Robin Hood like figures. Libraries, art galleries, industrial reorganisation. The current batch may turn out to be similar. I forlorn hope perhaps. But like everything else that Trump has engineered I doubt it’s part of his strategy.
