Coalition Science “Policy”

So here is the equation:
On one side are diseases which have a massive impact on individuals, society and the economy, like dementia; and teams of brilliant scientists striving to gain understanding of their structure and causes.
On the other side are cuts to research funding and arbitrary prioritisation of projects with supposedly most rapid therapeutic potential.
These do not balance. Therefore teams of scientists will miss out on essential grants; disband; fail to discover what they know to be essential; and the UK economy will suffer from the waste of their talent and loss of discoveries to overseas institutes. Brilliant. Well done Coalition.
