    I wonder how much corporations are paying her to push this swill against open research that’s publicly owned.

    Probably nothing. I’ve been following her for a while and it seems to me she’s just been betrayed and disappointed by academia to an extreme that made her turn a 180 and defend private funding, when that’s clearly doomed from the start.

    I wouldn’t take these bits too seriously, but she does make good arguments overall and exposes some real problems and concerns that I’ve also seen as a grad student in a different field. I can’t agree that privatization is the way forward, but there’s more to her channel than that.
