Abstract
- Fears for the future of 'problem' subjects such as chemistry in UK universities have been reignited following the emergence of news that four top scientists will leave Cambridge University as the result of a campaign to lure leading researchers to Australia. Andrew Holmes, a leading polymer chemist, is one of the four and he has confirmed that he will be leaving Cambridge to join Melbourne University and he will be taking a large part of his research team with him. Holmes was in part lured to Australia by an A$230,000/yr federation fellowship, designed to boost Australia's 'brain gain'.
