What do scientific breakthroughs actually do for us? An infection that once caused recurring ulcers becomes curable with antibiotics. The immune system becomes a weapon against cancer. A dangerous open operation becomes a minimally invasive procedure. #SupportBreakthroughs #SupportScience 🧪

#NationalScienceAppreciationDay ❤️🧪
"Science, by itself, provides no panacea for individual, social, and economic ills. It can be effective in the national welfare only as a member of a team ... but without scientific progress no amount of achievement in other directions can insure our health, prosperity, and security as a nation in the modern world.' -Vannevar Bush, from Science, The Endless Frontier

WPI is founded on the idea that data can help us identify promising new ideas more quickly and efficiently, and that this faster recognition will ultimately accelerate the development of breakthrough technologies and therapeutics. 4/

The systems we use to distribute our research dollars have changed little over the past fifty years or more, even though the enterprise has grown dramatically and data science has given us powerful new ways to sort and process information. 3/

Science should serve society. While the benefits of research are not always immediate, over time the research enterprise should provide measurable benefit to the public. #values

Quantitative analyses can surface important information about the nature and direction of scientific progress, but poorly designed studies can mislead. Responsible use of data requires a commitment to rigor, fairness, and nuance; every conclusion needs context. #values

Transparency strengthens science. Clear data on how research funds are allocated, how funding decisions are made, and what outcomes are linked to funding help ensure public support for the systems sustaining discovery. #values

The mission of the Woodley Park Institute is to develop a detailed, quantitative understanding of the factors that drive the success or failure of scientific ideas and investments, and apply this knowledge to accelerate the development of new breakthrough technologies and therapeutics.
