Slide title: Impact of Fundamental Research

Slide words: Quote of Ei-ichi Negishi (Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 2010):
"The final reward for any researcher is to see his or her lifetime of work extend beyond academia and laboratories, into the mainstream of our global society where it can breathe hope into the world.  Our pursuit in research must not be for rewards. Our pursuit in whatever we do must always be for excellence, and if we accomplish excellence, it is its own reward and recognition will follow."
