Please help save British Science

Dec 19, 2007 14:51

I was going to call this "Please help save my job", but having been the victim of a previous cut, I am hoping that even if this thing goes through, I'll still have a job. But you never know. In any case, some of my colleagues won't be so lucky.

There's a petition to 10 Downing Street to reverse an £80M shortfall in funding for UK research into Particle Physics and Astronomy. Please sign the petition if you agree with it (and you are British citizen or resident - sorry, those are the rules of the petition system). I've seen several Downing Street petitions, but never one where I knew the proposer and so many signatories (I haven't looked through them all, but I did notice mr_snips in there).

Having been out of the country until yesterday, I haven't been following the news, but I did hear about these:-
  1. BBC web site article
  2. Item on the Today Programme from last week (mp3)
  3. Another item on the Today Programme this morning (mp3)
(ETA mp3 of this morning's Today Programme item and comment on who can sign.)
