DARPA’s getting audited. As someone who doesn’t know anything about the workings of this particular agency but does have some sense of the scale of the federal government and the general incestuousness of funded research, my first two thoughts are, “In the grand scheme of things that’s actually not that much money” and “Even if this isn’t impropriety she should have understood that it gives the appearance of.” Anyone who does know something about the workings of this particular agency care to comment?
