Zurbuchen unveiled the new assessment during a discussion on high-risk, high-impact research, as NASA calls it. Specifically, he defined this research as work that goes against the current conventional wisdom of science but that could deeply reshape the way that we think about the world.
"Imagine a grad student somewhere who's standing up looking at their data and all of a sudden, they find that whatever they find in their data opposes some of the leaders in the field," Zurbuchen said."It's very hard to support those grad students to go publish it, and I want you to know that's what we want to have happen, because it's better for science than somehow taking a circle around that.
Zurbuchen called the new panel's work"cleanly and solidly in high risk, high impact research" portfolio. The panel will be led by David Spergel, an astrophysicist at Princeton University, assisted by Daniel Evans, an assistant deputy associate administrator for research at NASA. "NASA believes that the tools of scientific discovery are powerful and apply here also," Zurbuchen said in a
posted in conjunction with his remarks."We have access to a broad range of observations of Earth from space — and that is the lifeblood of scientific inquiry. We have the tools and team who can help us improve our understanding of the unknown. That's the very definition of what science is. That's what we do."
