Just wondering who else on here works in research and could maybe tell me what people are saying in comments are on this article? In essence, the UK government agency that gives out grants to tech (clean tech, medicine etc) SMEs to do research hasn't been doing much for six months. The techbro in charge has decided AI means that written applications are now obsolete. However, he fails to suggest an alternative. #research #deeptech #ukri #innovateuk

p.13 of this states that my job is obsolete! Let's talk severance pay and I'll get down the allotment!

Lord Berkeley's response is 'Interesting'. Indeed.
So, if you're a research active SME wanting to grow, why not send your thoughts to Innovate UK via telepathy, then sit back and wait for the invite to an interview!
