Well it looks like the science budget has not been cut as much as feared (BBC News - 'Vital' science spared deep cuts).
This is good news and will enable “science” to get on with the jobs that are vital to all our futures. Expect to see a raft of new research programmes designed to better previous endeavours such as :
- Why flies have wings;
- Why wildebeests aren’t blue;
- Why cross-eyed lions can’t see straight;
- Why the tops of mountains are cold (this will examine the counterintuitive argument that things closer to the Sun are actually colder than those further away); and (not forgetting applied science):
- How to boil an egg on an electric guitar.
