Instead, the Treasurer has advised that before engaging in any boring and elitist research that only people specifically studying the field would care about, scientists should head down to the pub and check in with Frank to see what he thinks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve very excited about this prospect,\u201d said one researcher. \u201cI\u2019m curious to see if Frank will want to push us towards completing the standard model of matter, you know, the search for the graviton \u2014 will he prefer it if we go in depth on dark matter and really try and crack that code \u2014 who knows, really!
