Abstract

GERMAN RESEARCHIn her first major policy speech, Germany's new education and research minister announced plans last week to increase federal funding for research and higher education, dismantle some outmoded nuclear-power research facilities, and strengthen programs to help women and young scientists. And the premiere basic-research organization, the Max Planck Society, last week welcomed its 5% budget increase and the minister's decision to grant it more autonomy in its spending. But the boldest headlines went to an incident in which a prominent German researcher was placed under police protection following threats from animal rights activists.
