I always hear that we just can just strip the NIH of public funding, and private interests will magically step in to make up for it. Never mind that biopharma only invests in R&D that’s clinical or has strong clinical potential, and philanthropists tend to focus on pet causes.

Blame scientists for that. They consider public outreach as wasteful effort performed by " third tier" scientists.
