I did not see anything that prevents a scientist from the "revolving door
scam" in which private sector scientist leave their job and go to work for
the government and then after working long enough to gain career status
(three years, I belive) go back to the private sector. After a short time,
with the private sector they can then go back to work for the government.
This can happen over and over again. It has happened at the FDA and my
guess is that it has / is happening at NIH. Sort of like the fox having a
key to the hen house with unlimited visiting authority.
