The Trump administration says the federal government doesn’t have to give money to universities such as Harvard. But bioengineer Don Ingber, founding director of the Wyss Institute at Harvard, says the funding for scientific and medical research isn’t simply handed out; Harvard has to compete for it. “We are doing a service for the United States,” says Ingber. “It’s not only medical. It could be for national security and economic security.” #harvard #trump #uspolitics #federalgrants
