Fwd: Famous Bristol people

[John James Boxshall]

Hi everybody, 

I meant to mention at our meeting at Steve's house and she didn't understand my own notes in my notepad .. Having just read the following quote I now know what it was I meant to mention :-) of famous/well-known people in Bristol that may well be a good connection to fossil free Bristol… Okay she's not exactly famous I wonder if anybody has been in contact with her:

"There is a real risk that your present assets will become rapidly “stranded” by changes to global policies. This issue is thought to be serious enough by Mark Carney to warrant an on-going investigation by the Bank of England. I cannot begin to imagine what would happen to biomedical science in this country, and also abroad, if the Wellcome Trust’s budget were to shrink substantially. Please, please do not take that chance."

Just an idea..?
