The benefits of geology and biology and such are really good, practical stuff. I feel that the new sciences are a bit of a waste because there hasn't been, for example, a new discovery in particle physics for something like 40 years.
The Higgs Boson was discovered on July 4, 2012. It is one of the most important discoveries in particle physics.
