Bio Protocol (@bioprotocol): "Sorry, your disease isn't profitable enough for research"

"Sorry, your disease isn't profitable enough for research" The traditional scientific system faces several critical challenges: • Scientists spend more time writing grant proposals than doing actual research • Rare diseases get overlooked because they're not "profitable" enough • Breakthrough ideas die in paperwork purgatory Now, what if patients and scientists could work together directly? No middlemen. No years-long wait for grants. This transformation is already occurring through decentralized science. Communities are funding the research they need most. People affected by rare diseases can back the scientists working on treatments. Researchers with bold ideas can find the people who believe in them. The system isn't broken because of poor science. It's broken because bureaucracy decides what lives and dies. This is your chance to make a difference. This is where you can become part of the scientific process, anon.
