Campaign to Save the Royal Institution - 22/1/2013
I am pleased to join forces with, and lend my support to, the Save21AlbemarleStreet campaign set-up last Friday by Mary R. Perkins. The following statement reflects discussions we have been having. A new joint website will be appearing later, and in the meantime I encourage people to follow @Save21Albemarle on Twitter and, for those on Facebook, to join the group:
Just a quick reblog to draw attention to the campaign to save the Royal Institution from oblivion. Following catastrophic management by Susan Greenfield when she was Director of the RI, it is now virtually bankrupt and forced to contemplate the sale of the historic buildings in Mayfair it has occupied for over two hundred years. Please support the campaign.

The RI must be saved for the nation: I have taken many of my students to lectures there and know the inspiration it gave them. Questions should be asked in Parliament about this parlous state of affairs and in the last analysis lottery funding could be used.
