Science funds

Part of the £80 million that Exeter University plans to invest in science, medicine and engineering over the next three years will be spent on looking into climate change and sustainable futures.
The environment is part of five broad themes for investment, which also includes systems biology, extrapolar planets, functional material and translational medicine, and personalise healthcare and public health. And if you don’t know what any of them are, then you probably won’t be one of the many new appointments that are promised by the university.
Apparently, ‘this new approach will encourage academics from different disciplines to work together on joint research projects. For example, engineers, physicists and mathematicians will be working with biologists on systems biology projects and social scientists will be working with physical scientists on climate change studies’.
But the press release fails to say if cats will be working with dogs.
