Seeking out water on dry plains was essential for our ancestors. Here’s a geosmin molecule:

Woodcarved humanoid octopus wearing a robe, arms wide open, in front of a book standing on branches. On the book, a frog. On the right arm, a kinfisher, and on the top of the head of the octopus, a round duck. The base is burn, on that angle it is not really obvious but is water with a slight wave form arround the octopus. On the background, an old door with old white paint.

Woodcarved creature (Siren Head, by Trevor Henderson) with very long skeletal arms and legs, also too many ribs. Its head is a pole with two speakers and wires. Those speakers have teeth. On the highest speaker, a nest with a pigeon. Siren Head is extending its left arm, point a finger forward. A pigeon sits on its index.

Blue and naples yellow graphite illustration of a murmuration of birds twisting through a city, from the perspective of looking up through street, surrounded by city buildings. A person is sitting in the lower right corner, looking up at the murmuration passing overhead.

A nude man sitting in a meadow amongst the forest at night, viewer at his back. He is sitting on his haunches, stretching both arms upwards, and has a thin white unicorn horn emerging off his forehead, as well as a thin, whiplike unicorn tail.

The Lament for Icarus by Herbert Draper, but different. A pale man with long black hair and large black and white wings lays sprawled across a chunk of rock, speared through by large black arrows where rivulets of red blood run from his wounds. It is night time so the piece is majority blue, snow on the ground, with the forest in the background.

Illustration of a nude woman with black hair, kneeling by the edge of reflective water in the forest. On the top half, billows of smoke and embers surround her, but as revealed by the reflection, she is made of flame and the smoke clouds around her are dark wolves with burning embers for eyes.

members of the Norway men’s national football team on a rocky shore, styled as a fierce group of ancient Vikings. They are dressed in elaborate historical costumes, including fur-trimmed capes, leather tunics, chainmail, and armor pieces, while holding traditional gear like circular wooden shields, spears, axes, swords, and blowing horns. In the background, longships rest on a calm body of water that cuts through a vast, dramatic fjord. The rugged landscape is framed by massive, steep green mountains, with a thin waterfall cascading down a cliff face on the left, all under a cloudy, overcast sky.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.
