I’m seeing a lot of anger and disappointment in badger circles today that the badger cull is ending, but not ending fast enough. Apologies for the long thread 🧵, but tet me explain why I think the news is the best it could be 1/25

Super blog from Douglas Dowell Russell Group on some promising (but still early) signs that the UK's participation in Horizon is starting to recover. Much being done by universities to support participation, and so important to do so in anticiption of the next Programme.
