With sadness, but pride in what we’ve achieved, it’s time to hang up our protest banners—Science is Vital is officially dissolved. Thanks to everyone who’s helped out over the years, and please keep banging the drum for UK science! https://t.co/P3hbueiMjL

Last night, @JennyRohn, @Stephen_Curry, @ShaneMcC and I went back to where it all began (the Price Albert pub behind Euston Station) to dissolve @ScienceIsVital. So: itʼs official. Unless someone comes forward to take it over in the next month or so, thatʼs it.

Thanks Heather :)
@ScienceIsVital This is sad, but we all only have so much fight in us and it takes wisdom and courage to end something with a noble cause. I'm sure the team will continue to campaign on behalf of UK science through different channels.

New survey from @Scientists4EU, to find out how membership of the EU Customs Union affects science. Do you import scientific supplies from the EU or beyond? Check this out! Please RT https://t.co/jju1NaQFzJ
Do you order scientific/medical supplies from within Customs Union? Or export within CU? How would leaving affect you? (paperwork, bureaucracy, cost, risk) Esp for hazardous, bio or time-sensitive supplies? We need you testimonials 👇👇👇 and pls share. https://t.co/dvBx3E8uEX
