“People’s personal projects”?!
Together with the Minister’s comments at the Marsden celebration at parliament last week, where she mentioned ‘outcomes’ and picking winners multiple times, that is a dire red flag.
People’s. Personal. Projects.

Science funding is in trouble. Can philanthropists help?
One solution to dramatic cuts to environmental science funding in recent years: philanthropic endowments guarantee support for research long term.

The awaited recommendations to re-prioritise science funding in #NZ is out. www.mbie.govt.nz/about/news/p.... Basically shifting money to technology. Nothing real about increased funding though acknowledged it is low. Also acknowledged that Universities will be hit. #NZScience

Gene tech the winner in new science budget
Most of the $813m budget line was a rebate for international moviemakers. The lion's share of leftovers went to overseeing GMOs and foreign projects

I disagree wirh some of the things that both Rubin and Thiel say here, but Thiel’s summary of the “two front war” that science fights and his jaundiced eye to modern science demands attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjli...
