Nobel Scientists: Federally funded research should be vailable for free.

Techcrunch had an article about how some Nobel award winning scientists are supporting a proposed federal law that would make Federally funded research freely available to the public. Apparently this research is only available in expensive research publications. While I’m not a fan of some Federally funded research I do support the idea that this research should be made publicly available. After all its the taxpayers money that is paying for this research. I’m tired of seeing valuable information gathered by the government and horded to benefit a few select people and organizations. If you want to keep your funding private then you should fund it privately.
