Inspired by an event I attended this week: the number one issue for adoption of data sharing practices is that part of the open science community is unable to conceptualize that incentives won't ever fix the fact that some people just don't want to share.

Chile's vital underwater forests face threats from mining, warming seas
In the cold seas off Chile's arid northern coast an underwater forest teems with life. Towers of red and green seaweed float upwards from the sea floor, providing food for wildlife, income for locals - and oxygen and carbon capture for the planet.

I’m doing background research on the history of science funding in the US. Does anyone have specific info on how early biologists in the late 1800s and early 1900s US funded their research? I have the general picture but looking for citeable sources & details about individuals.
