An insightful editorial on the UK funding crisis from Physics World.
It's interesting to see that the Commons Public Accounts Committee and Diamond disagree over their budgeting of running costs. In this instance I think I trust the Commons. The cancelation of UK involvement in the ILC is also made more surprising when you find out it was rated 'the highest priority for a major new accelerator' just months ago by the research councils.
The petition is still open if you, your family, your students, and your dog haven't signed.
