I have much confidence in the institution but it is like many - grown too large to be easily governable and have every researcher completely monitored.

I've just re-read "The Emperor of All Maladies" by Siddartha Mukherjee. It goes into great depths on the growth of Farber and the incredible push for funding to wage the war on cancer. It seems that so much money was thrown at this effort that a lot of opportunists also wanted a piece of it.

That's an excellent book. I saw Siddartha Mukherjee speak at a keynote a few years back at AAPS. NNadir Jan 2024 #2
