#JodrellBank #SaveJodrellBank
Jodrell Bank has inspired discovery, advanced our understanding of the Universe & captured the imagination of people across the world
Today, its future as an active radio astronomy facility is at risk
Following the decision by UK Research and Innovation to withdraw funding for e-MERLIN when the current agreement ends in March 2028, scientific observations at Jodrell Bank are expected to cease unless alternative funding can be found
