Cat Hicks on Nostr: Also like, if you're not in a field not all scientific progress is apparent to you ...
Also like, if you're not in a field not all scientific progress is apparent to you from the headline and the bullet point. This is hard technical work folks and why are we so bad at allowing for the fact that much is lost in translation? So many of my friends have worked on "useless" basic science that turned out to inform huge medical advances later but no one is ever like "sorry I made fun of the fact that you studied flies and told the govt to defund you"
