Professor Phil Moriarty is a physicist with firm views about how science is funded. Here he's given an opportunity to share them (with occasional questions and challenges from video journalist Brady!)

These are Phil's personal views and we've uploaded them as a discussion point. Anyone wanting to find out more about Research Councils in the UK (and to start exploring other sides of the debate) can visit this website as a good starting point: http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/

And we'll be uploading more soon about the funding of science.
