Reacción a "Reactions to the adoption of the new Science Law "
Luis Serrano

Today is a day of mixed feelings. On the one hand, the science law is approved with many positive aspects. On the other hand, a letter signed by 55 of the country's research centres and supported by the universities is being scorned, and a Podemos amendment to the law is passed that, contrary to what the government says, will not reduce precariousness, but will result in fewer contracts and will, in many cases, negatively affect the careers of young researchers.
If we really want to reduce precariousness, we need to put more money into science and free up the ceiling on permanent contracts that universities and research centres have.
