Science Café: What Cost, Basic Research?
Manage episode 270714549 series 2782812
Basic science research seeks to improve our understanding of the world, without any direct, obvious application. Much of it is funded by government grants, including those from the National Science Foundation. That funding may soon face cuts. A discussion on how much we spend on such research, what the rationale is, and what the implications of such cuts might be.
- Meghan Duffy, Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
- Kristin Koutmou, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry
