January 14, 2026 | Rees Kassen, Academic Director for ��VR��Ƶ's new Sustainability Park and the director of TISPP. His article traces today’s tension around the post‑WWII “social contract” for publicly funded basic research (shaped by Vannevar Bush’s Science: The Endless Frontier). He argues the contract is straining as governments demand faster, more visible returns, even though long-run payoffs (like mRNA vaccines) show why basic research matters.

January 14, 2026 | Ruth Morgan, the 2024-25 TISPP visiting fellow, argues that trust between science and society depends on sustained, open dialogue.
