I may have moaned a bit in the past about the extent to which STFC supports nuclear physics in proportion to other areas, but I was pleased to see today that its latest press release is all about some excellent work by UK nuclear physicists working at the Jyväskylä Laboratory in Finland, looking at isotopes of rutherfordium.
Now around 10* of the 1010 press releases on their website are about nuclear physics, which is definitely a step in the right direction.
*My methodology for coming up with the number is based on the substring "nucl" being in the precis part of the press release. It may have led to an inaccurate number, but I doubt that it's widely wrong.
