In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the world of early-stage science funding and philanthropy. We discuss the role philanthropy plays in society and how it has evolved over the years. We also explore new funding mechanisms that have emerged to revolutionize the landscape of early-stage science, as well as the limitations and setbacks associated with these new funding mechanisms.

Additionally, we discuss the political challenges of early-stage science funding and the pivotal role that government and individual patrons should play in supporting early-stage science.
