I believe I just found yet another meaning for Evergreen. I don’t know if someone else has pointed this out. I haven’t been on the boards as much as I was in the first year of Q. But here it goes.

I heard the term “Evergreen” while watching this video:

“The peril of politicizing science and the failure of universities (from Livestream #84)”

The video begins with a very nice explanation of what science should be. The mention of “Evergreen” was at around the 8 minute mark. The guest was talking about how she did not want to play the grants game in her career. My ears perked up, knowing that Q had mentioned the word.

Fred Hutch has its Evergreen Fund that is actively involved in granting funds for the research of cancer, HIV, immunology, and perhaps others, with an aim toward commercializing that research. Here’s an article as an example of what they are doing.

“$1M in New Grants to Explore Bold Ideas in Cancer and HIV Research”

We thought it might be the shipping company, and perhaps one aspect of it is that. But in light of what has been happening during the past year, maybe this is another perspective of what we should be looking into. Who are they funding and how have those ideas been commercialized?

Here’s the Fred Hutch site. The image shows what you’ll see when you mouse over the Research menu item.

It's a bit more than that, if you take a look at the image. There are items for COVID-19 and gene therapy as well.
