Keep it real
OPINION: With the Government applying some fiscal discipline to scientific research funding, this mutt thinks it might be timely to look at what's still being done in the ag-science space.
This means that the money will go to science with measurable outcomes, unwinding Grant Robertson's wider scope which included humanities and social sciences.
As Collins says, "Real impact on our economy will come from areas such as physics, chemistry, maths, engineering and biomedical sciences".
Examples of the type of research Dr Siouxsie Wiles and her woke mates are upset about losing include: 'Linking the celestial spheres to end-of-life experiences: The research hopes to rekindle the ancient connection to the stars and re-imagine the meaning of death'. Cost: $861,000!
And there (used to be) plenty more where that came from.
