Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.
Our goal has been to more effectively promote the value of publicly-supported research at our universities, both to the Congress and to the general public.
Since coming to Congress, I have been advocating for increased resources for research in the physical sciences and for the Department of Energy Office of Science in particular.

Federal funding for biomedical sciences plays a critical role in training the next generation of scientists.
Donors need to know what their money is being used for.
