My first reaction of curiosity to this is, so how many articles might
that be, Gates-funded and appearing in Science.  But that leads to a
larger question:  is there a count of articles by major funding source
available?  Could one say roughly how many peer reviewed articles
appear in a year funded by Gates, NSF, NIH, etc.?  That would be
interesting to know for more reasons than gave rise to my initial
question.
