Nobody called in a correct answer in the PNM Quiz during the September 20, 2007 PNM Show.

So nobody won the prize, a copy of the book The Republican War on Science by Chris Mooney.

The topic of the September 20, 2007 PNM Show was "The Crisis in Government Funding for University Science."

The Quiz question was "What was the federal government's appropriation, rounded to the nearest billion dollars, for all spending by the National Institutes of Health during the current, 2007 fiscal year?"

The answer is "$29 billion."  See, e.g., the section on "R&D Appropriations for Key Agencies" at http://www.aaas.org/spp/rd/upd807.htm.
