With budget cuts and DOGE, working out how to do science well has become all the rage recently. The Metascience unit, established by UKRI and DSIT sets out to ask questions like ‘What science should get done’, ‘How should science be done’, and ‘How do we help science get done effectively’ .
Come along for a presentation by Jack Leahy and Cillian Brophy and find out more about the work at the Metascience unit, and decide for yourself whether so-called ‘smart’ science is what we need, or if it’s just a sign of the times.
