Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Fantastic outcomes! Finally mathematically talented girls and young women are getting what boys and young men have had, and taken for granted, for centuries: multiple mentoring, role models, endless positive reinforcement, recognition, approval, and confidence-boosting, the list goes on and on
How can we flip the decline in girls and gender-diverse students doing mathematics at higher levels?

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.
