    That’s how we learn new unexpected things. Just so long as it doesn’t come at the expense of further research on stuff

    Yeah, as for the first bit, for sure; exploration and discoveries mostly lead to advancements in the field.

    The second sentence is a bit harder to grasp, because stuff that already works usually doesn’t need much further research. Unless you have something specific in mind or it’s a new field like mrna vaccinations against cancer, for example.

    Getting back to the article, I like this quote: " It does not at all mean being soft on science," says Kuruvilla. “It actually means being hard on traditional medicine and hard on science, to say, do we have the right methods to understand more complex phenomena in the right way?”

      Ya that second bit there is mostly why I’m fine with it. I think people get triggered a bit when they hear terms like “tranditional” medicine
