The STFC have recently massively slashed the budget for Physics in the UK by £80million. It means amongst many other things that the UK will drop out of exceedingly important international research, and many British research programmes will come under threat. It will also make it exceedingly difficult to take up further studies of Physics as a career.
No matter how this is construed, I cannot see anything good coming out of this decision and therefore urge all of you who are eligible to sign this petition and to join this group on facebook, which also plays host to much important information regarding this.
Also, expect somewhat more frequent posting here sometime in the future; I currently have lots that needs to be done.
