      I would make a world wide rule that where science had a practical application that improved people’s lives then no one could make huge profits out of it. For example ban on drug companies chargin more that a country can afford for any medicine. Is that really science- – guess not. Ok then I’d make it so that there weren’t so many formulae in physics so that I could understand it better:)

      That what you could research was not always determined by what you could get funding for…..it makes working in research quite challenging in that often jobs are on a contract basis of 3/4 years as you can’t gurarantee funding for longer than that.
