  • Rohn talks about how public-spending cuts could get much worse after the UK election. In 2010, Britain voted in a government intent on cutting spending to tackle the aftermath of the worst recession since the second world war. The science budget was at risk. Despite having just one percent of the global population, the UK publishes 16 per cent of the most influential research papers, and some studies put them first among all nations for research quality. With a track record of excelling on a shoestring budget, perhaps it could still do well on a little less.
