Dear Colleagues,
Prime Minister Gordon Brown delivered the Romanes Lecture on "Science and
our Economic Future" at the University of Oxford last week. In the presentation,
he promised record government investment in science.
"We will not allow science to become a victim of the recession,..."
'...while not everyone is in the business of science, science is the business of everyone.'
