💥 97,500!💥 This Rejoin petition is so close to completion. Let’s tip it over the 100,000 mark to force the government to respond. Given the party in power now realises they need the pro-EU base - are they really going to refuse a debate in parliament on this? Let’s find out! Sign and share!

UK could ‘lose generation of scientists’ with cuts to projects and research facilities
UK’s research funding body warned best scientists taking posts oversees due to lack of job stability at home Hundreds of early career researchers have warned that the UK will lose a generation of scientists after the announcement of significant cuts to physics projects and cutting edge research facilities. Scientists working in particle physics, astronomy and nuclear physics have been told their grants will be cut by nearly a third, with project leaders asked to report back on how their research would fare with cuts up to 60%.

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.
