Har du glemt alt det sinnsyke som skjedde med Senterpartiet i forskningsminister-stolen? Her er en gjennomgang. Det er nesten ikke til å tro når man ser tilbake på det. Nå trenger vi noen som kjemper forskningens sak, for det vil også være Norges konkurransekraft og fortrinn.

Senterpartiets styring av forskningen kommer til å gå inn i historiebøkene

KOMMENTAR: Forskningen kan gi Norge et fortrinn i en uforutsigbar verden. Da er det på overtid å få en stabil og forutsigbar styring.

I cannot fathom the effect of this cut on overheads. It's going to be brutal. Given the benefits funding brings (www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...) this seems like a wild act of self harm.
