Postcards from the edge of disaster for UK science

The government's plans for science will be announced in the comprehensive spending review in November, but the science budget is once again in the firing line. Science is Vital has launched a new campaign to fight off the threat of cuts of 25-40%. Even a flat cash settlement would be a backward step. As part of the campaign, we are asking everyone to send a postcard to Chancellor George Osborne with the message that the UK should be looking to invest in science, not cut it. We invited the Guardian science bloggers to kick things off. Here are their postcards.

We will need many more postcards to make sure George gets the message - so please take inspiration from the bloggers and join in!
