The laser was a solution that preceded every problem it would solve.
This is what foundational research looks like.
Defund it today, and the breakthroughs we can’t yet imagine will never happen. ⚛️🔭🧪

🔬 Your tax dollars once paid a physicist whose own colleagues told him he was wasting the university's money.
In 1951, Charles Townes sat on a D.C. park bench and worked out, on the back of an envelope, how to force molecules to release coherent radiation.

Cut foundational research today and the next laser never gets built. The applications nobody can yet imagine will not exist to defund.

Our new paper reveals critical new regulators of stem cell differentiation that control where the right kinds of cells are made in planarians.
In particular, we find Anosmin—a gene responsible for Kallmann Syndrome—as a restrictor of neurogenesis.
