As I was reading the financial pages today, I came across this
story on Yahoo! finance about a type of glass discovered by Corning nearly 50 years ago becoming the next generation screen for televisions and technology devices, I was struck with critical importance of basic research. Even though, discoveries may not have economic pay offs immediately, investments in scientific understanding can lead to products and services that propel our economy forward in the future. It would be a shame if investments in science are no longer supported a sustainable level. Without the funding we can't make the discoveries. What do you think?
