It was springtime in 2023 and Anne Marie Cavner was the closest she'd ever been to meeting her biological father. Then life dealt her a blow. Cavner, a 56-year-old Thunder Bay resident, was adopted from Timmins, Ont., as a baby and raised in Toronto. This is something she has always known. The mystery was who her biological parents were.

Simple yet profound questions like these are at the heart of curiosity-driven basic research, which focuses on the fundamental principles of natural phenomena. An important example is the process by which cells or organisms move in...
