I've usually followed the principle of trying to establish the set of figures before writing text while working on papers. But I just realized this doesn't seem to work for me when writing proposals: I have to organize the ideas with text first before deciding what figures I need.

I really like this essay in the Inquirer on cutting the NIH. It is personal, and it is directed at those who might disagree with the author. I hope some of them read it. www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
Cutting NIH funding puts my life on the line — and maybe yours as well | Opinion
Private investment in pharmaceutical research can't replace the NIH. Both public investment and the private sector are needed to be world leaders in health care, writes Michelle Francl-Donnay.
