You’re overestimating the technical skills needed to do cancer research: there’s a reason why many wet labs allow high school students to come and help with research. It’s mostly grunt work and whatever technical skills can be learned by a high school student over a summer.
I would venture to say the average Jane street worker has done more good for society than the average cancer researcher or Alzheimer’s researcher.
For fusion research, the quantitative skills from many Jane Street people can easily transfer to make meaningful contributions to fusion research.
