Yes well. Say you wanted to study electrons traveling in a vacuum to see if they really do travel at the speed of light. You'd need apparatus that isn't normally available in anywhere but a physics or chemistry department. Now let's say you wanted to study the brown spotted mouse, however no one cares about it. How are you going to get funding or continue the project. How are you going to justify to the school that your time is better spent on studying animals than doing follow up reports on a clinical for a new human drug that is being experimented on mice. You want to do research. But do you know if you want to do academia research?
