Community members gathered at the Federal Immigration Court location to raise awareness and support of those that have been wrongfully detained by ICE.  The community also raised voices in opposition to unwarranted military actions as well as other unjust and violent acts by ICE and other federal government agencies.  This event was organized by Indivisible Resisters Contra Costa, a grassroots, nonpartisan group advocating for policies to support immigration reform, campaign finance reform, universal healthcare, racial justice, and to protect our environment.

Greater reliance on the private sector would reduce researcher independence and benefit to the public as we’ve seen in the biotech field. Basic science is a public good and should be primarily supported by public institutions.

I agree and know about this (it is my job) and high failure rate, but equally if industry let academia wither on the vine, then we all lose, especially industry, who also recruit most of the key staff from academia.

Basic research has a long timeline like a bond, but is highly speculative like a junk bond. Few for-profit companies can afford a 99% chance of $0 ROI, Quarter after Quarter, for decades. No coincidence, 76% of basic research is done by Universities.

Totally agree it is a disaster but also revealing just how little industry/business reinvests in primary research as they are often the ultimate beneficiaries of this.

What basic research is in science: it is looking—for years—at the spit of toad, or the quiet collection of data over a child’s cough. I will explain it another way: it is the Lionel Messi of science. It is sitting back quietly and then all sudden: boom, a swift innovation that changes our lives.
