Join us for Bioethics Breakfast Club:
The impact of high-impact research with Joshua LaBaer, Executive Director, Biodesign Institute, and Professor, School of Molecular Sciences and Neal Woodbury, Vice President, Chief Science + Technology Officer and Professor, Knowledge Enterprise.
The #ASU Charter calls for "advancing research and discovery of public value." University design aspirations include "Value Entrepreneurship" and "Conduct Use-Inspired Research." The National Science Foundation was created after WWII to support early stage research and yet its newest directorate, Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP), "advances critical and emerging technologies, accelerates use-inspired and translational research..."
This emphasis on getting outside the ivory tower surely captures some valuable and transformational aspects of the power of science. But, where does it leave research that doesn't have direct, measurable impacts? What is the viability and place for basic, or fundamental, research in the twenty-first century?
