The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion. Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more. If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

Sex redefined - Nature

The idea of two sexes is simplistic. Biologists now think there is a wider spectrum than that.
