Responding to a reporter query, AAAS CEO Alan I. Leshner, executive publisher of Science, said of the latest Nobel Prize winners:
"This year's Nobelists emphasize the benefits of supporting a wide range of basic science, without overfocusing on potential utility, and then reaping the benefits, both in terms of increased understanding and practical uses. Every one of the Nobelists started out doing an interesting basic science project, and then it turned out to be quite useful in multiple settings."
