I am completely baffled by the total lack of any action or any evidence of speaking out from our scientific ‘leaders’. We’re in a void of information and the consequences are potentially catastrophic- especially as it looks like BBSRC are following suit.
Has the MRC research funding ‘pause’ been covered by any major news network?
It feels like it should be a major news story
