  • It is indeed an outstanding step forward and I am convinced the new minister has a busy agenda and challenging times ahead. It remains to be proven though whether this initiative is also adequately supported (budget). A long lasting attempt of independent science policy (& budget) demands serious funding commitments. This is a 'must' for the office to survive the next presidential election (and get credits for it). Marcos Miretti Univ. of Cambridge Sanger Institute
