Given the damage that the current Astronomer Royal is doing to astronomy research in the UK is there any way that the BAA could petition the King to remove her from the post. I guess the BAA could poll their members to see if they are in favour of this.
I don’t know if there is any precedence for this but given yesterday’s news about Jodrell Bank I think a fair few members must be asking why the Astronomer Royal is making funding cuts like this (in her other role as Chair of the STFC).
She was forced to step down as President of the Institute of Physics, after just 3 months in the role, due to the conflict of interest with the STFC role.
