Academic scientists should be the least of your concerns when it comes to wasting public money and emitting greenhouse gases.
I would focus your energy on politicians and multinational corporations.

Could you help us improve health research?
At University of Bristol we look at patterns in health data across large populations. These patterns can help us uncover what might make people more at risk of health issues such as cancer, poor mental health, heart disease, diabetes and pregnancy problems.
But we need people like you to help us!
Involving patients and members of the public is an important part of health research. Members of the public provide important feedback on research plans. They help keep research relevant to what worries you. They also help us to communicate research findings in a way that the public can understand.
Come and find out more!
We are holding a free webinar to tell you what we are working on and how you can get involved
Tuesday 4th March - 7-8pm, online
