Letter: Letters : Fund thyself

Published 28 February 1998

From John Gribbin

Stephen Westwood has displayed just the kind of sloppy approach to research
that I commented on in my review of Tricks of the Trade
(Letters, 31 January, p 50).
I do not, alas, have “a place at the funding trough”. I am one
of the increasing number of self-supporting researchers, and actually do my
research during the “tea breaks” from my paid work.
