New Science is building new institutions of basic science.

Science is the driving force of humanity. Today, science is in crisis.

Academia has monopolized basic science and is denying scientific legitimacy to anyone who doesn’t have a PhD, doesn’t publish in academic journals, and doesn’t partake in the academic establishment. This is bad for science and it is a morally abhorrent state of affairs.

Over the next several decades, New Science will help to create a network of new scientific institutes pursuing basic research while not being dependent on universities, the NIH, and the rest of traditional academia and, importantly, not being dominated culturally by academia.

We intend to both enable researchers who would’ve been working in traditional academia to work on problems they could not work on in academia and to increase the absolute number of people who work on pushing the frontier of science, by attracting those who want to pursue basic research but would not have chosen to pursue a career in traditional academia.


New Science is a 501(c)3 research nonprofit incorporated in Massachusetts.
