Reducing doctoral training opportunities and reducing their distribution across the UK is perhaps not the best way to create a science superpower. Reductions cited go beyond that required to fund stipends adequately (where @UKRI_News have been making good progress)

@profgeraintrees @UKRI_News In terms of government measures to turn us into a science superpower this ranks somewhere behind making EU researchers pay visa fees and NHS surcharges post-Brexit.
@profgeraintrees @UKRI_News The recent EPSRC CDT call put a limit on how many outline’s universities can submit. The algorithm used to determine how many is based on previous EPSRC research funding/CDT success. This is likely to lead to the “strong to becoming stronger” Unhealthy approach to inclusivity!
