Why fund science?

Funding science is crucial for a country's future. It drives innovation, creates new technologies, improves healthcare, and helps us understand the world better. While the immediate benefits aren't always obvious, long-term scientific investment often leads to economic growth, new jobs, and solutions to global challenges like climate change and disease.
