Hope John Christy didn't do this switch just to greatly expand his potential research funding sources!

I hope so too, but he's prominent enough that I think his funding is pretty secure.

I think in this, as in many other things, it's shallow and mistaken to "follow the money." How many things have you done in your life that you did not do for the money? All of us have.

There are many other motivators stronger than money. Belief is one (think of religious martyrs, or Muslim suicide-bombers...), as is a desire for the respect of those we respect. Why, Lenin and Stalin weren't all that big on money, but they thought they were building a better world. Look what those two creeps did with that distinctly non-pecuniary motivation.

d.o.l.
