Topic	Biden picks basic scientist as science advisor also making it a cabinet position
COVxy 01/16/21 4:20:49 PM #43:	meestermj posted... Is this in the same realm as theoretical vs applied sciences? Theoretical fields don't collect data, that is something different. Also, just to be clear, I am excited that a basic scientist has entered this role. I'm a basic scientist and have seen the winds of funding shifting over the past decade shifting towards applied work. Having someone that values fundamental work in a high up position is nice, maybe he'll whisper into the correct ears. meestermj posted... Are you worried that this person will try to brute force results? Mote worried they they'll try to fit the result to their methods, rather than adjusting their methods towards a result? No. My minor concern is that he may have influence in pushing government programs in funding large consortium projects over funding efforts that fund individual labs. But i'm not even certain that someone in this role really has that type of influence. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] <cite>COVxy posted [p:949573850] in Biden pick...
