Manage episode 270714549 series 2782812
Basic science research seeks to improve our understanding of the world, without any direct, obvious application.

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
