There are no national statistics about how many people are giving up on academic science, but an NPR analysis of NIH data found that 3,400 scientists lost their sustaining grants between 2012 and 2013. Some will eventually get new funding, others will retire; but others, like Glomski and Patterson, will just give up. Were taking all this money as a country weve invested ... and were saying we dont care about it, Patterson says. He watches with some trepidation as his daughter, a fresh college graduate, hopes to launch her own career in science. The funding squeeze could persist for his daughters generation as well. So Patterson is hoping she will settle on a field other than biomedical research — one where money isnt quite so tight. npr.org/blogs/health/2014/09/09/345289127/when-scientists-give-up
