Thank you, Chair.
I want to switch away from talking about downstream innovation and commercialization, and turn to the headwaters of research, which I believe are fundamental research and pure research.
I think one of the characteristics of pure research is that we don't necessarily know what's going to pan out, whether an idea is a good one or not until way down the road.
How do we make sure that we adequately support fundamental research, and how do we decide what off-the-cuff, off-the-wall research is worth supporting?
I would direct that to start with Dr. Adem, please.
