What Is The Purpose Of The Brain-fund Project

In "Train To Busan", what exactly did the main character (Fund Manager) do that indirectly caused the outbreak?

I saw this a while ago, and I am going to have to speculate here, as I have not watched it again, and I do not understand Korean so I have to trust subtitles which may or may not be correct or complete.As far as I could tell, he didn’t have anything to do with the outbreak directly, this was an indirect situation. As far as I remember and understood, the film starts with the fact that there is an obvious outbreak that has happened at a plant. We are never told much information about it, but it is obvious that something serious is up. When the truck driver hits the deer, he drives away, and the deer gets up and walks away looking like a zombie. Obviously something from the plant has escaped into the air and animals are being affected.We cut to the fund manager who is getting a call from an investor. The investor has received some info about this issue it seems, and asks if he should sell his stock. The fund manager lies to him and tells him it’s fine, it won’t be a big problem, don’t sell your stock. The fund manager then in turn calls to sell either his stock or the company stock right away. This shows us by example that the fund manager is not a great guy, and does not have strong morals. This is an important point in many Korean, and Asian films. Morals are a strong issue, in both the Asian culture and in their movies.Basically while he had nothing to do with the leak, the zombies, and any other issues, he did have some advanced word something was up, helped to cover it up, and tried to make a profit off of it. This would cause him and his company and employees to feel some serious guilt.At least that is my take on it!

Good luck!

Can neuroscience allow you to see the minds of others?

No, in that sense people would be able to see the thoughts of others which is something that is not happening. Neuroscience and science in general test the physical sphere and even energy. The verbal/mental aspect of a person depends on the effort of the person itself to show its capability.With this it can also be said that scientists cannot guarantee the existence or ausence of a superior being with photoimages.

How does Stand Up To Cancer decide which promising research projects to fund?

SU2C is advised by a 19-member blue-ribbon Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) that reviews Dream Team and other translational grant proposals, makes recommendations on funding, and oversees the recipient’s progress throughout the grant cycle. The committee is chaired by Phillip A. Sharp, PhD, of MIT, who won the Nobel Prize for his research in genetics. Arnold J. Levine, PhD, professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study, is a vice-chairperson, and I am the other vice-chairperson of the SU2C SAC. Based on the specific grant opportunity, additional senior laboratory researchers and physician-scientists are invited to join the Committee that determines which research projects to fund.  We take a very close look at all the applications, meet with the finalists face-to-face, and select the teams that will have the best opportunity to make real progress, and bring benefit to patients in a relatively short period of time. SU2C-funded projects are designed to bring scientists together from all types of disciplines, working seamlessly between institutions on a national and international scale.

What do Conservative say, do you think that liberals are brain washing our kids to hate big business?

Well big businesses do send our jobs overseas and then fight against paying their victims food stamps so they do not starve to death. It clearly underscores the failure of capitalism.
