Federal Employee Of The Year

A National Institutes of Health doctor who has led groundbreaking AIDS research is the Federal Employee of the Year. The nonprofit Partnership for Public Service will honor Lynne Mofenson at a dinner tonight. She focuses her research on preventing children from inheriting HIV from their mothers. She said she follows her father's work ethic: "It isn't necessarily who is the smartest, it is who works the hardest."

Much of this research results in pharma sales to 3rd world countries,which is a great idea.The problem is that African nations purchase these units for a pitance while Americans,many dirt poor,are expected to take up the slack.The disparity in price,nation by nation,was discussed on NPR.Vastly in favor of any country other than the US.
