- Reposted by fqxiYou can check the list of MPs here: committees.parliament.uk/committee/13... and use www.writetothem.com to send a message. We want to ask them to ask Ian Chapman tomorrow about cuts to STFC's research areas, particularly astrophysics.
- Reposted by fqxiI've updated my post on the funding crisis heading for British astronomy: docs.google.com/document/d/1.... UKRI made clear that astro and particle physics are being subject to unique cuts due to rising costs elsewhere. This looks like a deliberate decision not to fund fundamental physics. 🔭 🧪
- Reposted by fqxiI came to the UK because of it being a word leader in astronomy. These cuts are devastating. You want to know the impact of innovation and societal impact of cutting edge astronomy research. Just look for at the camera in your smart phone www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-... 🔭🧪
