“It’s hard to explain to people what the significance of an invention is, so it’s hard to get funding. The first thing they say is that it can’t be done. Then they say, “You didn't do it right.” Then, when you’ve done it, they finally say, “Well, it was obvious anyway.”
Robert S. Ledley (1926-2012, dentist, physicist, and biomedical researcher; inventor of the first whole-body CT scanner)
It's nothing new that it's not easy to get projects funded. So, we are very grateful to the funding agencies for their support of our research!
