Uggghhhhhh….

We always have one of these snarky comments about the value of a basic research paper like this.

When I was in grad school, in the 90’s, one of the seminal papers in my area was on cell differentiation in embryonic sea urchins. I’m sure that if reddit existed in the 70’s, we’d have seen posts mocking the use of research money on that paper. It turned out to be one of the early building blocks towards organ printing.
