How much did it cost to catapult @NASAPersevere across the Solar System and lower it by sky crane onto the surface of Mars to look for signs of life? We crunched the numbers. And it turns out that Mars rovers are a bargain… scienceogram.org/blog/2021/02/p…

Congratulations to @esa and @NASA for the successful launch of the @NASAWebb telescope! If you’re wondering how much this incredible feat of science and engineering cost, @statto has just the infographic for you! #JWST #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #JamesWebb twitter.com/statto/status/…

It’s Christmas day! Even more excitingly, it’s the day that the @NASAWebb telescope takes to the skies! But how much did it cost? I made a festive infographic to put it into context. Details and data at steele.link/jwst #JWST #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope

Depressing to see that science continues to be a political football… Now the Government promises to make us a ‘science superpower’, but the impact of its short-sighted decisions in other areas impact upon our research funding. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Cancer Research UK is being forced to cut £150m in research and 500 staff because coronavirus has hit the charity’s income hard. The Government is committed to doubling research funding. Bailing out CRUK and other medical charities would be a great start. scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org/2020/07/15/cov…

Coronavirus: what the hell do we do now?! I think the media coverage of covid is too focussed on the day-to-day and not enough in what comes next. So I made a video to try to work it out. Please share! If everyone who watches it sends it to 2–4 friends… youtu.be/bygIMiNnlVE

Great thread about how science funding fails in times of crisis. People working on other stuff have time to apply for new covid grants. Actual coronavirus experts are so run off their feet they’ve not got time to write an application. twitter.com/firefoxx66/sta…
Dr Emma Hodcroft@firefoxx66

Meanwhile - those working on #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 *RIGHT NOW* are those LEAST ABLE to write grants! Many of these are working *unfunded* - putting their other work on hold, working without resources - to provide COVID19 research *NOW* 3/n

This is peanuts—less than $10 per person for the billion or so of us living in the high-income countries. It’s an investment that would pay itself back many, many, many times over. Governments, businesses, billionaires—get on it! #coronavirus #COVIDー19
Wellcome@wellcometrust

$8 billion is urgently needed for the global research response to #COVID19. The cost of inaction now will be more significant in the long term – both for lives and livelihoods everywhere. Find out more 👉 wellc.me/2IT4ohj | #OutsmartEpidemics #coronavirus

$2bn is less than £30 per person in the UK, $6 per American, and $1.60 per inhabitant of the ‘high-income countries’—the richest billion or so people in the world. A #coronavirus vaccine would have economic benefits that far outstrip this tiny investment. We need to step up!

For any followers Down Under, did you know that there’s a growing Australian Scienceogram? Check out @SarahScience1’s first investigation, uncovering how the Australian Government inflates its internal R&D stats: twitter.com/ScienceogramAu…
ScienceogramAU@ScienceogramAu

We've analysed the Australian Government's Science, Research and Innovation Tables, and the result is startling. $9.6 bn for R&D in 2018/2019? Less than $7 bn, according to the OECD definition of R&D. Read more here... scienceogramaustralia.com/2019/08/26/the…
