Sign-up to fight the physics cutbacks
An email from Francisco Diego of the University College London Observatory is a call to action for UK-based scientists (or indeed anyone) to register their unhappiness with the current funding situation for physics & astronomy, which has lead to - amongst other things - the UK backing out of funding for the ILC.
There is now an approved (e)-petition online to collect signatures regarding the funding situation for physics and astronomy. Petitions with sufficient number of signees are forwarded to the government who then needs to come back with a response.
Its quick and easy;
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Physics-Funding/
Please sign it and then forward this on so that it might reach critical
mass.
You must be a British citizen or resident to sign the petition.
Also see this blog post from Imperial College for some more background to the story.
