Digital Science Spotlight Event: Science Spending in the UK – Why Are we Spending Peanuts on Particles?

On the evening of Monday 27th February, we hosted our first Spotlight event of the year at our London HQ. This time, the focus was on science spending in the UK.

Discussion points included: How much should we spend on science? How much should we spend on life sciences and how much on physical sciences? Where should we spend it? And in what organisations? In fact, what even do we think we mean by ‘science’ when we talk about spending?

The evening featured a lively discussion with a dynamic panel! You can see a collection of the tweets and pictures from the event collated in our Storify below:
