Lab unity is not encouraged in the scientific research community. Many labs are searching for similar answers but work in parallel. This tends to delay the discovery process. I have had an experience in which a similar lab group was working on a project that was searching for the same answer as our group. I suggested that we follow up on their future directions because we had that capability. This initiative tends to not be fostered. What seems to be important is who initiates the discovery of a mechanism or leads to a therapeutic approach to a disease. Those that do this are likely to have a paper excepted to a major scientific journal and this improves the lab’s reputation. It is the individual lab’s reputation that promotes the reception of grants from institutions like the National Institute of Health. Although encouraging competition does lead to scientific discovery, I believe that scientific collaboration will be even better. Lab collaboration is better because it decreases the time in which a discovery is made. It brings all the important information to the table. It allows for labs to find a particular niche to study instead of researching something that has already been proven or another lab is already working on. So my question is:

Is it possible for a major institue like the NIH to provide a grant that encourages labs working on a similar project to work together?

The second highest priority is that we, as wise Republicans, need to f to make sure we protect our nation by increasing funding for the Strategic Defense Initiative, championed by President Ronald Wilson Reagan. They major national media networks kept deriding President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative back in the 1980s by calling it The Star Wars Defense Initiative, to imply that the concept of a missile and laser defense shield for the United States was just science fiction fantasy. Wise Republicans have known, and it is now a proven fact that missile defense is now a reality and has great potential to protect the US and needs atequate funding; Even the technological reality of an anti ballistic laser defense shield applications realized. Go to the Heritage Foundation website for a chance to hear the other side of the story that the major mews networks have largely overlooked.

To not maximize the use of our own resources based on a very temporary drop in oil prices is foolish.

In the long term, the use of renewable resources will be mandatory. So, it would behoove us to get on with drilling and exploration that can be done without damage to the environment while simultaneously investing in technology to use renewable energy resources.
