UK physicists raise alarm over planned funding cuts Research chief tries to quell alarm as government reshapes science funding in effort to boost growth

IOP President-elect Paul Howarth CBE warns of a "devastating blow to the foundations of physics" in the @financialtimes.com today following news of planned STFC cuts last week: www.ft.com/content/5732...

Times letters: Relevance of the Church in the 21st century Sir, AN Wilson’s article (“More liturgy, fewer lectures please, archbishop”, Jan 31) is rather like the curate’s egg — good in parts

Sir Paul Nurse PRS writes in today's Times on cuts to UKRI funding: "If [discovery-driven science] is not properly supported, we lose the seed-corn of discovery research, harming subsequent science translation, societal improvement and economic growth."

UK’s science superpower hopes hit as Labour slashes physics funding University funding for astronomy and physics research cut by almost a third as government seeks to concentrate budget on areas that prioritise economic growth

"Physics isn't a luxury we can afford to throw away through confusion and cuts."

Following our response to STFC's funding reductions yesterday, it's great to see this news covered in @thetimes.com. (1/4)

We welcome the govt's recognition of science in today's #SpendingReview. But while £22.6bn/year for R&D is a positive step, we believe the UK still needs a strategic long-term plan for physical sciences to fully unlock the UK's potential in transformative technologies.
