A very lame attempt to seduce the Christian Right of the UK, which I hope is still a significantly minor denomination.

"encouraged": a classic and convenient British understatement. How about their research capabilities being systematically dismantled and them being overburdened with unmanageable teaching load?

Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and Savitri Sahni inaugurating Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeobotany, 1949. Birbal Sahni, the leading Indian paleobotanist, had passed away that year. The collection included Sahni's own Gondwana fossils, as well as those of others like Alex Du Toit of South Africa

This not the fault of the sector. The government has encouraged this anti intellectual narrative along with de-funding the sector. The upper administration has been their agents in it.

Some history of science jobs to share.

An assistant professorship in Environmental History at the Uni of Warwick, FT, open-ended/Permanent, £46-57k, deadline 5 Jan. I know some great people in that department, including historians of science.

Of'rse agree. But the defense mounted by Ms Guyer is full of cliches like "understanding the world", the questioning mind, bringing together people. That kind of holistic, liberal logic of human. is old and can only work in some IL colleges. We need something more radical now.
