Hi-- just finished reading the Aug.30 Newsweek article re: Bill Gates. Since there has been discussion here about trying to interest him in funding PD research, please note (if you haven't) that grants are made by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and also that it says Bill digs very deep for the FACTS in any grant he is considering......if we do approach him, better have our ducks in a row! Has anyone heard whether the national PD orgs are looking at this possibility?
