@lucienheurtier.bsky.social🚨What happens to UK science when its next generation sees a future elsewhere?
🧪 69% of the PhD students and postdocs in physics we surveyed seriously consider their next job abroad. Just 1 in 20 are confident about suitable UK opportunities.

@lucienheurtier.bsky.socialUKRI’s cuts are now damaging the UK’s reputation abroad.🧪🌍
Yifang Wang (Chinese Academy of Sciences) calls abandoning LHCb leadership “irresponsible”. Yu-Gang Ma (East China Normal University) warns it “erodes the UK’s credibility”.
@timeshighered.bsky.socialLeading Chinese physicists have condemned UK Research and Innovation’s “irresponsible” decision to withdraw funding from an upgrade to an experiment at Cern, Europe’s world-leading particle physics facility. Frances Jones reports #UKRI #Cern #physics #research

@cochemelab.bsky.socialThanks #UKRI for featuring our research on #Ageing! We show that direct activation of the energy sensor #AMPK extends #Lifespan in multiple pre-clinical models. This strong evolutionary conservation highlights potential for future #Translation.
