Ecology ST240 Fundamental and applied research into the environment and the ecology of the biosphere and threatened habitats will attract a high level of funding.

Some people feel ignorant of science and technology, and overawed by it.
People should feel in control of the technology that pervades their lives. Science education itself should be less specialised and more interdisciplinary, and should foster a socially and environmentally responsible attitude in scientists. Education should enhance the openness of the scientific process and the public's participation in it.
