PPAN research doesn’t just produce papers — it trains the people powering UK industry.

From astrophysics → biotech, AI, data science. 🧪🔭

Cutting this pipeline has consequences.

#PPAN #AI #ScienceFunding

Postdoctoral support in UK theoretical particle physics has dropped from 58.33 to 19.5 PDRA years per year — a ~67% reduction. 🧪🔭

These positions are central to research, training, and the skills pipeline into industry.

The impact will extend well beyond academia.
