I really like this idea...the scientists are only paid the prize if they are successsful...and its a contest /race between several different ones....no more hyping of research in the press to get a grant...at least not the way this contest was designed...
I wish there were more like it...and if ALS is genetic related..which I freely admit I'm no scientist.. but I agree with Jeff 's earlier post on another thread,,even in sporadic cases my hunch too is there is a component...this may be very important...Lisa
