At Science Card, we've created a unique account that enables our customers to support scientific discovery through their everyday financial activity. But how do we decide which high-impact research projects make it onto the app and receive funding? 📖 In our latest blog, we take a look at the three pillars of research that we have identified as the most important in building a healthier, more sustainable future: combating climate change, advancing healthcare, and pushing the boundaries of computational power. 🔬 We also have five missions for our research projects at Science Card, each intricately linked to one of our three pillars. Each project we bring onto the Science Card app will have a part to play in one (or more!) of these missions: cleaner oceans, curing cancer and advancing healthcare, improving soil quality, developing smart cities and achieving net zero. 🚀 The final stages of the process of deciding which research projects to showcase on our app are to ensure that they make a positive contribution to at least one of the UN’s SDGs, and for the project to be considered by our peer review panel. The panel is made up of around 100 scientists worldwide and they check the project for its viability, ethics and the uniqueness of its intended discovery.

Research serves as the compass guiding us to new horizons, fueling progress and innovation across various fields. Its impact transcends academia, influencing policy-making, healthcare practices, and technological advancements. Investment in infrastructure, diverse methodologies, and transparency are vital for research to thrive despite constraints. Embracing interdisciplinary approaches and global collaboration is key to shaping a sustainable, equitable world. Research illuminates paths to innovation, challenges norms, and inspires a future enriched by endless knowledge. In our rapidly evolving world, research's power propels us towards a brighter tomorrow, unveiling new questions and driving our quest for understanding. #Research #Innovation #Science #Technology #Knowledge #Interdisciplinary #Creativity #CriticalThinking

In case you missed it, #Wisconsin has been on a bit of an economic development hot streak of late. It started in early May when Microsoft announced it will build a $3.3 billion #data center in Racine County, largely to meet #artificialintelligence needs. The streak grew in late May with creation of a $100-million public-private #venturecapital fund to help finance startups in #healthcare, #agriculture and other sectors – with emphasis on #rural Wisconsin and people who don’t normally encounter early stage investors. It continued this week when Wisconsin was named a “#tech hub,” a process that began with the 2022 passage of the CHIPS and Science Act and which spurred a multi-state competition for federal dollars. The U.S. Economic Development Administration designated 12 such hubs, spread among sectors ranging from quantum computing to polymers to food technologies, with Wisconsin’s focus being #personalizedmedicine. The story of how the tech hub designation was won – along with $49 million from the EDA over five years – show what can happen when people in the academic, public and private spheres work together.
