Renewed doubts about science funding and absurd discussions on "applied" vs. "basic" science, bring to mind the words of the great Abraham Flexner, creator of the Institute for Advanced Study that hosted Einstein, Gödel, Oppenheimer, von Neumann... (1/3)

I make fun of my own "forevers"! I know others make wiser decisions than I do. I know. But I am happy to embrace my own (laughable) imperfections. And here I am doing research on genomics, ageing, Alzheimer's. [now without a typo!]
My 14 yo daughter asked why I'm a scientist when I could make more money doing something else. I told her money, a big house and a flashy car are things we use in the present, but science is forever. 14 yo: But, Daddy, what if people just make fun of your science *forever*?

My impression is that even more thant 40% do. As of course they should. No one wants academia to be just a self-perpetuating bunch. We should help preparing people to be the most useful version of themselves in society at large.
More than 40% of postdoctoral researchers leave academia, according to a study of some 45,500 researchers’ careers
