The CIA and FBI may not know how to work together, but at least NSF,
NIH, and NIEHS are proving they can. Collaboration is essential these
days to get the big things done. These three groups have come together
to form four centers around the country that will combine environmental
and human health science for the oceans.
It makes me think of the effort in the early 90's to pressure the
government to establish a Department of Environment which didn't work
out, but at least something like this is along the same lines.
