Einstein wrote Special Theory of Relativity while working in a patent office.
No research grants. No taxpayers funding.
Was the work he did on Special Theory of Relativity a breakthrough in scieence? Clearly it was.
I love science but seeing all the marches for "scieicne" only make me belive that these scientist truly fight for surrvival in a darwinistic sense.
They fight for their bowl of rice, not for science.
If they want to be funded by taxpayers, they should ask politely with a big smile on their faces and not march with anger.
