The note from Purdue University midway through last week didn’t sound right.
After recently committing $250 million over the next five years to target the life sciences and a week after one of the splashiest research finds of the year – a team of researchers had mapped the structure of the Zika virus, a step toward a possible cure for an international public health emergency – Purdue announced that it was looking for $50,000 between now and April 28 to keep the project rolling.
