Beagle Project radio silence...

where are we up to with the Project? Well, waiting on the decision of several applications for funds. One is due in this week and we're about as relaxed as if we were sitting on an antheap. We are in negotiations with another large potential sponsor which has said if we even hint at their identity it's all over, so mouths firmly shut here until we can say something.

However, we will soon be in a position to announce a hugely exciting scientific link up which will transform our science programme from merely exciting to enormously expensive, complex, eye-widening science on a global, environmentally important scale.
