Sarah Palin is simply a dangerous person
You’ve heard about some of these pet projects they really don’t make a whole lot of sense and sometimes these dollars go to projects that have little or nothing to do with the public good. Things like fruit fly research in Paris, France. I kid you not.
The Drosophila fruit fly is probably the stickiest subject in any level of science education and most students first introduction to genetics.
