Skepticism Breeds Innovation
Research environments often encounter skepticism, particularly surrounding controversial concepts like gain of function. This skepticism mirrors challenges in fields such as physics, where funding dynamics can skew research agendas. Leading figures in these fields may have to navigate a landscape where workshops are disguised to align with funding interests, detracting from genuine scientific inquiry. The broader implication highlights a concern for accountability within institutions, where misguided priorities can lead to ineffective and uninspired outcomes.
