With sadness, but pride in what we’ve achieved, it’s time to hang up our protest banners—Science is Vital is officially dissolved. Thanks to everyone who’s helped out over the years, and please keep banging the drum for UK science! scienceisvital.org.uk/2018/1…

Last night, @JennyRohn, @Stephen_Curry, @ShaneMcC and I went back to where it all began (the Price Albert pub behind Euston Station) to dissolve @ScienceIsVital. So: itʼs official. Unless someone comes forward to take it over in the next month or so, thatʼs it.

Replying to @ScienceIsVital
This is sad, but we all only have so much fight in us and it takes wisdom and courage to end something with a noble cause. I'm sure the team will continue to campaign on behalf of UK science through different channels.
