The European research sector is bracing for cuts. It’s a trend that has science organisations worried, with several warning that long-term damage to the industry could be caused by short-term actions taken as governments attempt to balance the books.

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth.

It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.

A research lab from Northwestern, chosen because it's generic and sort of zoomed out. Three scientists are visible in lab coats, and there are benches and shelving, with glass along one wall showing another high-rise building nearby. Overhead fluorescents provide light.

These curves represent real-life CO2 measurements in two schools: one extremely well ventilated, which is rare if not exceptional, and one very poorly ventilated, as in the majority of schools. For the time being, this major public health problem is largely ignored.
