Rejected petition Science Holiday

More details

I would like the government to stop all scientific research in the UK for a period of one year. This 'Science Holiday' would give scientists, the public, and policymakers the chance to discuss - and if necessary reform - the direction of current scientific research, the funding of science, and how to make science more accountable to the general public.
