    How can scientific research become a priority if you don’t put real scientists in charge of policy.

    How depressing.

      ‘Real’… that has certainly been a word to ponder in the last few months. But please get real, scientists deal in empirical data. Which scientist would label somewhere a cancer factory only to make a 360 degree turn 6 months later without any shred of explanation backed by facts. No, fellow commentator, a puppet master uses puppets not scientist…

    Ah. village dentists hmmm

  3. il-Ginger says:

    He should lead by example by replacing himself with a scientific researcher.

    There is nothing that a Botox injection can’t sort out.

    The national priority in Malta is turning up at is-Serkin in Rabat on Sunday at 5.00am for pastizzi.

    To head a scientific entity one would have to be an active scientist and researcher with several papers and books under his belt. Putting one’s heart and soul into one’s work and promoting the entity one represents are also prime requirements. On the other hand, buffoons should be working at the circus.

      Actually, no. James Webb wasn’t a scientist. Neither was Leslie Groves.

      You just need someone who understand science. And you need real scientists on the board of directors. Ah now, that is another matter. Because Malta is too small and isolated to have a sufficient pool of real scientists.

    And that’s yet another reason why Lara Boffa is unqualified for her post as PRO at the Malta Council for Science and Technology, though she may well be qualified as Jeffrey Pullicino Orlando’s ‘personal assistant’.
