"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2914058\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yes, there has been a shift from basic towards applied science. The innovative scientists who are out there are basically trying to find ways to cope with this by squeezing in as much fundamental science...as part of their basic sciences.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2914059\" data-originallang=\"en\">As part of this, I perhaps work in a fortunate world right now, where the project I'm on, the ocean tracking network, is developing Canadian technologies\u2014i.e., there are products we are selling globally that are magnifying the investments we're putting into our research by a factor of probably ten for every time we do things, while also generating a lot of really fundamental knowledge that has applied implications to it as well. Somehow we've managed to fuse all of that into place. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2914060\" data-originallang=\"en\">That's not to say that I do not believe in the fundamental research. I believe very strongly in it. It's where the great new ideas\u2014the RIMs, and even the basic technology we're using as part of the supply network, the ocean tracking network, the sonic telemetry equipment\u2014came from. So we have to keep that going.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2914058\" data-originallang=\"en\">Effectivement, on a assist\u00e9 \u00e0 un virage de la recherche fondamentale vers la recherche appliqu\u00e9e. Les scientifiques soucieux d'innovation qui travaillent dans ce domaine essaient de faire face \u00e0 la situation en int\u00e9grant autant de recherche fondamentale que possible dans leurs travaux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2914059\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai peut-\u00eatre de la chance avec le projet sur lequel je travaille en ce moment: je veux parler du r\u00e9seau de surveillance oc\u00e9anique, qui permet de mettre au point des technologies canadiennes que nous vendons \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle mondiale, ce qui permet de d\u00e9cupler pratiquement les investissements que nous faisons pour chaque unit\u00e9 de recherche, tout en g\u00e9n\u00e9rant un volume consid\u00e9rable de connaissances fondamentales qui peuvent \u00eatre ensuite appliqu\u00e9es de fa\u00e7on concr\u00e8te. Nous nous sommes d\u00e9brouill\u00e9s pour en faire un tout int\u00e9gr\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2914060\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela ne veut pas dire, pour autant, que je ne crois pas en la recherche fondamentale. Bien au contraire, c'est l\u00e0 que l'on voit pointer les grandes innovations, comme par exemple les modules d'interface de r\u00e9seau, et m\u00eame la technologie de base que nous utilisons dans le cadre du r\u00e9seau d'approvisionnement, qu'il s'agisse du r\u00e9seau de surveillance oc\u00e9anique, de l'\u00e9quipement de t\u00e9l\u00e9m\u00e9trie sonique, etc. Donc, il faut pr\u00e9server cet aspect.</p>"
