Debate reignites over indiscriminate cuts to science funding
Original: ‘To me it’s stupid to just indiscriminately cut science…. But it was also pretty stupid to just keep pouring money into science’
A pointed quote arguing both indiscriminate cuts to science funding and open-ended increases in science spending are 'stupid' is drawing attention, capturing frustration on both sides of the debate over how governments should fund research. It reflects a broader argument that science budgets need prioritisation and reform rather than blanket cuts or blank cheques.
Why now: Ongoing controversy over government science funding cuts is prompting debate about how research money should be allocated.
