Men of science and the national war effort

ABSTRACT IN view of the widespread feeling that our scientific and technical resources are not being used to the best advantage in the national effort, that much valuable knowledge and

experience is being wasted through sufficient responsibility not being given to scientific workers, and that a number of scientific workers have grievances, caused by irregular conditions of

working, which unnecessarily discourage them from putting out their maximum effort, the Association of Scientific Workers is calling a series of regional conferences at which men of

science, engineers, technicians and laboratory assistants can discuss their problems and decide on appropriate action. Much of the responsibility for improvement of the situation must be

borne by all classes of scientific workers. It is therefore to be hoped that the fullest co-operation of all concerned will be obtained. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This
