The Rocket Boys of NIH
As a scientist, I am seeking new discovery and innovations. However, one very difficult task is to find money to support my research. Major fundings are usually coming from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) or National Science Foundation (NSF). They are very competitive and hard to get (Duh!).
Another task is to educate publics and draws their interests in various areas of scientific discoveries/perspectives. This is because sciences cannot stand alone without public support.
The two aforementioned national funding agencies also support bright and young (prospective) scientists to foster their future careers in science. The video above is about a story of two young boys who received an NIH fund long time ago. This still can happen to your children... =^|^=
