‘Interference and underfunding’ threaten Polish research funder

All too often, "He who pays the piper, calls the tune". All OK when you are payingt for the reproduction of a specific product already out there, like a tune, but - when the product is innovation, research, invention, maybe the piper-payer needs to be stone-deaf.

This is a politicised article and lacks objectivity or focus. Why is an article about research funding diverging into criticism of the judiciary and why present such a polarised view? A success rate of 10% is not low. When I was a young researcher in Australia it was less than this.
