Investing in basic research is the biggest gift to future generations, providing knowledge and tools to solve the biggest problems! Worldwide cuts is putting on breaks when we should be accelerating. We need public pressure to prioritize long-term solutions. It's amazing what we can do together 💚

Nepal was my home for half of 2006, witnessing the end of the Shah dynasty and the beginnings of it becoming a republic. Today they vote to fill all 275 seats, and I join their hope for a more peaceful and prosperous future #Nepal #Elections 🇳🇵🫶
