@nick_clegg @emilyryall How is that "funding" paid? Is it EU students using UK student loans that they'll never pay back?

@EdMiliband_MP@nick_clegg@emilyryall nope- it's the UK paying into a common science pot then winning back in grants more than it puts in. -
@mikegalsworthy@nick_clegg@emilyryall What an absurd system. Why not just cut out the middlemen? -
@EdMiliband_MP -the "middlemen" allocate taxpayer funds to best scientists. Same as in UK, but on EU level it funds international projects. -
@mikegalsworthy So it's basically a duplicated function. ie: a total waste of time and money. - 1 more reply

@nick_clegg this graph is really troubling me. What are the figures and where are they from? What does this graph mean? Who produced it? -
@emilyryall@nick_clegg dunno who produced the graph- but here's my paper, shows UK lead in EU health research funds: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23804079 -
@mikegalsworthy@emilyryall@nick_clegg Ask yourself what do they get back for this funding.#CommonPurpose#charity#unaccountable
