Anyway, time to pick up on a theme previously discussed here. Spending cuts and science spending.
As the spending review is looming, there needs to be an effect to protect the spending of science, engineering, technology and maths to safeguard the development and progress in this country for decades to come.
In steps the "Science is Vital" campaign, read the website and the reasons for why science is so important to the UK economy. If you want to stand up for science spending sign the petition on the website,
Next post will hopefully be on the Lord Brown report in the university fees and my reaction to it.
Until next time.

This is something we can agree on. I think there is a tendency for people to see pure scientific research as being just an academic pursuit with no direct economic benefits, but the 'spin-offs' are massively beneficial. They are the basis of all new technologies. If we aren't going to manufacture anything here anymore, we should at least ensure we are the ones designing the products we send abroad to be built.
