An important discussion in Margot's TL on a subject that is close to this household (Maths Half's group is part-funded by the particle physics and astronomy strand of STFC). What I'm struck by is the lack of a strong voice from the Royal Society on the current crisis (correct me if I'm wrong). 1/

But should we really be using Jodrell Bank to argue for a more politically-inflected science policy at UKRI? Really?
