"Institutions must avoid a dangerous and emerging misconception: that academic research should be financially self-sustaining. Historically, society has not expected classical music to justify its existence through commercial profitability, and neither should it expect fundamental science to do so."

There are only few certainties in my life.
One of them is that I'm extremely unlikely to die of tetanus, diphtheria, polio, rabies, typhoid, cholera, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella or pertussis.
And definitely not of smallpox.

I work on an obscure aspect of a very rare immune cell in the human body that most scientists and textbooks safely ignore, and I have had more people show up at a seminar I was once invited to give as a junior researcher for which my host had completely forgotten to send out announcements.
OMG -- there are literally like a dozen people at Trump's fair right now. Get a load of this live shot.
