"I don't know whether people noticed a small thing going on globally, but quite a big thing in the UK, which is a reorganization of our governmental departments to create a new department that's focused entirely on science, innovation, and technology."
I'd be interested to learn which part of this new department is focused on learning how to manage the pace of science and innovation. Where to speed up, where to slow down, where to say no to some research, etc.
Are science and government elites in the UK interested in learning how to manage the pace at which the knowledge explosion unfolds? Or is the mindset more "do as much as budgets will allow as fast as possible"?
