Why I Joined – Noah Farber

"As a recent college graduate who developed a love of nature from a young age I know just how important it is to safeguard the future of scientific research. In the next century humankind will face a diverse set of complicated problems including climate change, overpopulation, and global health challenges. The only viable tool that we have for solving these potentially existential threats is the scientific method. A breakthrough could come from any number of diverse fields of research and we have no way of knowing which. Unfortunately, under the current system, grant money is concentrated in the most popular areas of research to the detriment of innovation in the scientific ecosystem. Assured Science proposes a viable solution that will help the scientific community thrive by making research a self-sustaining and democratic process."
