December 21, 200520 yr “The researchers received a $50,000 grant from the National Institute on Aging, part of the federal National Institutes of Health.” The death of former Senator William Proxmire last week brought back memories of his Golden Fleece Awards. I believe he would announce them monthly. The purpose, of course, was to publicize and poke fun at some especially egregious waste of taxpayer money. I’m sure the Alaskan Bridge to Nowhere would have topped his list of today’s follies. Unfortunately, for my tastes, the exercise occasionally devolved into making fun of some legitimate scientific research project or other, apparently just because the subject had sounded funny. This study in apes sounds like one of the ones that would have caught his eye back then.
