Research is NOT the same as innovation. Spend the money at least equally on bottom-up research by @erc.europa.eu. ERC grantees @ercgrantees.Baku.social are the most successful in the EIC, but there is no innovation without fundamental Bluesky research by the ERC

Calling all science advocates!! Carlos Brody+ are creating a searchable database of tangible science benefits, and they need you.

publicusaresearchbenefits.com

They are asking for suggestions - from brief to lengthy. The database is state-searchable, so all 50 states.

Please spread the word!
Searchable database of tangible benefits that federally-funded research gave us.
A crowd-sourced site. Health and Well-being. National Security. Prosperity.
