The question and options are: Do you think science is grossly underfunded? * Yes - they do good work and should get more cash * Yes - some areas are, while others get all the money * No - they don't do anything worthwhile anyway * No - they should raise money from private investment So far, almost 90% of voters have selected one of the first two options. Do you agree? If you'd like to vote, go to: http://www.voteserve.com/vs/main?p_dsn_id=278&p_flr_id=8#278 If you like this question, check out more science polls in the Science section - including Biology, Physics and Medicine. If you think you can do better, why not register to add your own science questions to my site? I'm always looking for good science polls!
