Excellent commentary from the also excellent Nicola Gaston on #science and how we benefit… turns out it is complicated and no amount of ministry wordsalad will change that… what is certain is less resources for knowledge generation will make us all poorer. An equivalent story is needed now for #environment #climate research. https://newsroom.co.nz/2026/07/30/luxon-wants-to-brutally-commercialise-science-but-cuts-threaten-its-foundation/
