Abstract
Five senior physicists have written to the UK science minister, Lord Drayson, about the “dismal future” for researchers in the country in the wake of a £40m shortfall in the budget of the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). The physicists, who chair the STFC's five advisory panels, have also called for structural reforms to be made to the council. They warn that unless the government takes action to reverse the situation, the UK will be “perceived as an untrustworthy partner in global projects” and predict that a brain drain of the best UK scientists to positions overseas will ensue.
