While we have written numerous articles on the bureaucracy of big science and its varying incompetences, we have neglected to point out the impact that the unrolling financial crisis is having on what the Register (see above article excerpt) calls "boffins." We expect to see over time a spate of article warning that the aggregate knowledge of humankind is being eroded by shrinking governmental budgets.
