Britain is not leaving CERN. It remains the second-largest contributor, paying around £160m a year.
But while the subscription stays intact, UK funding for parts of the next generation, including LHCb Upgrade II and the CMS upgrade, is being reduced.
The government once promised to “unlock the full potential” of CERN membership.
Three years later, the contradiction is in its own documents.

"The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.
That’s it. That’s the story. They are naturally not putting it in those words, but instead talking about “gold standard science” and the “reproducibility crisis” and funding “bold inquiry” for “transformational breakthroughs”. This is all bullshit, and it’s important to realize that. Shameless hand-waving bullshit, delivered in a how-dare-you-think-otherwise manner is the defining style of the entire Trump administration. You can see it in every appointee, in every part of the executive branch, and in the pronouncements of all of Trump’s supporters. I realize that this is a simple heuristic to apply, and a very unambiguous and unflattering one, but I find it to be all too useful and all too accurate. Give it a try."

Big Picture Science for May. 11, Preventing Future Pandemics
We may not want to think about another pandemic, but, as epidemiologists say, it is once again a “when,” not “if,” scenario. For his latest book, journalist Jon Cohen, who has written extensively about infectious disease for the magazine Science, interviewed top epidemiologists around the world and followed virus hunters into damp and daunting bat caves to assess our pandemic preparedness readiness. Jon and Molly sit down before an audience in Los Angeles to talk about worrisome cuts to science funding and our ability (or inability) to be vigilant and respond quickly to emerging disease. There is good news: we know how to stop outbreaks. The question is, will we put our tools and vast knowledge to use?
Guest:
* Jon Cohen – senior correspondent with Science Magazine, author of “Planning Miracles: How to Prevent Future Pandemics”

That Letter from UKRI
I only have time for a quick post today but I think it’s important to comment on the very feeble open letter circulated (yesterday) to “the research and innovation community” by the Chief Executioner Executive of UKRI. I think it’s feeble because it seems to have been intended to clarify what is going on, but does nothing of the sort. In fact, to me, it reads like it was written by someone who doesn’t know what he is doing.
The letter basically tells researchers working in areas outside the STFC remit (i.e. in anything except particle physics, astronomy and nuclear physics) not to worry because it’s only STFC that will suffer. This is the “explanation”:
In order to remain sustainable, STFC must make significant cumulative savings: a decrease of £162 million relative to our forecasts for their operational costs. The £162 million is the total net reduction in STFC’s annual costs that they must achieve by the end of the 2029 and 2030 financial year. It is not a £162 million saving in each year of the current SR period. Instead, STFC needs to reshape its cost base over the whole SR period so that their budget is balanced by 2029 and 2030 and key facilities are funded properly and sustainably.
That is not the situation at other councils and we do not anticipate equivalent measures will be necessary outside of STFC.
One of the problems with this logic is that a huge slice of STFC’s budget is spent on facilities that support science outside STFC’s scientific remit. The Diamond Light Source, for example, which has annual running costs of almost £70 million caters largely to the EPSRC and BBSRC communities. It makes no sense to me to require particle physics, astronomy and nuclear physics reseachers to bear the entire consequences of cost overruns at this facility when other communities benefit from it.
I’m sure the UKRI Chief Executive knows this, so it must have been a deliberate decision to wield the axe in this way. In other words it’s a conscious downgrade of particle physics, astronomy and nuclear physics. In the new regime, these are less important than any other branch of scientific research.
I’m out of it now, but I always felt that STFC should never have been set up as a research council. It should have been a service organisation, as its title – the Science and Technology Facilities Council – suggests. When STFC was created, back in 2007, funding for particle physics, astronomy and nuclear physics research as opposed to facilities should have been administered by EPSRC. Whether intentionally or not, the current arrangements make these areas of fundamental physics exceptionally vulnerable. We saw the consequences of that back in 2007/8 and it is happening again.

The Imperative of Science Communication in the Modern Era
In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, science communication—often referred to as “SciComm”—is more critical than ever. Recent history underscores the urgency of effectively communicating scientific knowledge, especially in the face of challenges such as aggressive federal funding cuts to science under the Trump administration, persistent attacks on researchers, and a challenging atmosphere for early-career scientists. As researchers encounter heightened scrutiny and diminished support, many have sought opportunities abroad, resulting in a brain drain that threatens America’s status as a global leader in scientific innovation and literacy.
Understanding this broader context emphasizes why science communication isn’t merely beneficial—it’s essential. SciComm acts as a crucial bridge linking laboratory and field research with public policy, education, and everyday decision-making. Without effective communication, groundbreaking discoveries remain inaccessible and misunderstood, policies become misinformed, and society collectively suffers from stagnation in progress.
The Critical Roles of Science Communication
Science communication serves multiple fundamental functions within society:
1. Informing Policy Making
Policy decisions profoundly shape our society, from climate change initiatives to public health policies. Effective SciComm ensures decision-makers have accurate, accessible, and timely scientific information. Conversely, misinformation can lead to poor policy outcomes, such as inadequate responses to climate crises or ineffective health initiatives.
2. Ensuring Public Health and Safety
The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically highlighted the necessity of clear, effective science communication. Public health messages must distill complex epidemiological concepts into actionable guidelines. Miscommunication and misinformation resulted in vaccine hesitancy, skepticism about public health measures, and preventable illnesses and fatalities.
3. Promoting Democratic Engagement
Informed citizens make better decisions. By understanding science, the public can meaningfully participate in democratic processes, hold leaders accountable, and advocate effectively for science-based policies.
4. Fostering Innovation and Economic Growth
Scientific advancements fuel economic growth. Clear communication enables society to recognize the value of investing in research and development, fostering a culture of innovation essential for economic prosperity.
Navigating Contemporary Challenges
The policies under the Trump administration resulted in significant setbacks for science. Budget cuts, censorship of scientific data, and political undermining severely damaged America’s scientific ecosystem. Early-career scientists were particularly vulnerable, caught between their passion for discovery and an uncertain professional future.
Consequently, many relocated to countries more supportive of scientific endeavors. Nations like Canada, Germany, and China actively attracted American-trained talent, recognizing that investing in science and researchers directly translates to economic and intellectual strength.
Sustaining America’s Leadership in Scientific Literacy
Historically, the U.S. has positioned itself as a leader in science, yet this status is fragile without sustained effort, funding, and societal support. Maintaining leadership requires:
- Consistent and adequate funding for scientific research and education.
- Protection and support for early-career researchers.
- Open, transparent communication about the value and outcomes of scientific research.
Improving the Effectiveness of Science Communication
To effectively communicate science, especially in polarized environments, SciComm practitioners must:
- Use Clear, Accessible Language: Complexity must never overshadow clarity. Simplifying jargon helps broader audiences grasp essential concepts.
- Harness Storytelling Techniques: Humans naturally resonate with stories. Framing science through compelling narratives can engage audiences emotionally and intellectually.
- Leverage Digital Media: Platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok democratize information access. Short, engaging content or visually appealing graphics greatly enhance reach and retention.
- Encourage Dialogue: Science communication should foster questions, debate, and discussion rather than dictating knowledge from a position of presumed authority.
- Build Trust: Transparency, consistency, and honesty form the foundation of effective communication, creating trust between scientists and the public.
Communicating Human Evolution with Sensitivity to Religious Beliefs
Human evolution remains a sensitive topic in many communities where religious beliefs conflict with evolutionary science. Effective SciComm in paleoanthropology demands nuanced approaches:
- Respectful Engagement: Recognize the personal and cultural significance of religious beliefs without disparagement. Dialogue rather than debate creates respectful learning environments.
- Highlight Shared Values: Emphasizing universal human values such as curiosity, discovery, and knowledge bridges ideological divides.
- Identify Common Ground: Evolutionary science and religious beliefs often intersect positively on ethical considerations, community building, and appreciation of life’s complexity.
- Amplify Diverse Voices: Engaging communicators from varied cultural and religious backgrounds offers relatable perspectives, breaking down misconceptions.
Building Social Cohesion Through Science
Science communication doesn’t merely educate; it unites. By promoting literacy and appreciation of the natural world, SciComm fosters social cohesion rooted in evidence-based thinking. Encouraging scientific literacy at every societal level—schools, community programs, and media—enhances collective decision-making, reduces polarization, and promotes harmony.
Educational initiatives should emphasize critical thinking and scientific reasoning, enabling individuals to assess information critically and challenge misinformation. Literacy programs must directly address scientific misinformation, equipping communities with practical tools to identify and counter false claims.
Looking Ahead: Education, Literacy, and Understanding
A robust commitment to education and literacy is the cornerstone of effective science communication. Educational systems must incorporate rigorous, inclusive, and up-to-date science curricula. Prioritizing STEM education from early childhood through adulthood significantly shapes societal perspectives, fostering respect for evidence-based knowledge.
Moreover, understanding the natural world must extend beyond classrooms. Community engagement via citizen science projects, public lectures, interactive museum exhibits, and collaborative research opportunities profoundly enhances societal appreciation and understanding of science.
Conclusion
As contemporary challenges mount—political, social, environmental—effective science communication remains essential for navigating complexities. SciComm empowers informed policy-making, strengthens public health initiatives, invigorates democratic processes, stimulates economic growth, and fosters societal unity. Amid current setbacks and potential declines in scientific leadership, reinforcing our commitment to clear, engaging, and inclusive science communication is not merely advantageous—it’s imperative.
Our collective future depends on an informed, engaged society. By championing education, promoting scientific literacy, and deepening our understanding of the natural world, we build a resilient framework capable of confronting modern challenges. The path forward demands clarity, respect, inclusivity, and active engagement—hallmarks of impactful science communication. With concerted effort and dedication, science will continue to serve as a guiding force for societal advancement, resilience, and unity.
