I don't know about that. NIH's annual budget a few years ago was about 20 billion dollars. WhatsApp was sold for almost nearly 20 billion. The studies funded by NIH cured diseases, extended lifetimes, made lives better. Why don't we get 5 more WhatsApp so that existed postdocs are paid better, and those thinking of academia actually join it and make discoveries to make human lives even longer and healthier.
