pchangr | on: Indian scientists produce most detailed 3D atlas of the human brainstem
I believe this is how most publicly funded research and some private research institutes work. This research was conducted by a public Indian university (IIT Madras). Which, by the way is literally more selective than IVY league universities

Doesnt matter how selective they are if the Budget of 1 MIT is $5 Billion while the budget of all 23 IIT is less than $1 Billion. There is a reason why so many Indian scientists move out of India.

Selectivity is just a numbers game, doesn't translate well in the way you're trying to present.

This particular lab happens to be primarily privately funded, donations, grants, etc,. Most big ticket research at IITM like this one are industry-funded or donation-funded. The public funds cover all the usual stuff and I don't mean to understate it.

Me hiring a PA is literally more selective than that. Only one person can qualify.
