UK Spending Review

This is a bit late, but I been busy with physics and other matters.

This is a quick post on the spending review and mainly science and university funding.

Looks like the Science is vital campaign saved research was the harsh cuts as the budget was frozen, but this does equal a 10% cash decrease over the time period of the freeze. However I had feared much worse for the science, and this also show some understanding from the government of the importance of science for the future of the British economy.

However, one cut I thought went against this was the cut in university spending, which will affect future generations of young people enter sciences or degrees in general.

Until next time.
