Abstract
For too long in the United Kingdom the pure sciences, particularly theoretical physics, have attracted unwarranted prestige, which has detracted status from engineering and technology, damaging the opportunities for industry to recruit suitable applicants. Both academic study and manufacturing industry are diminished when divorced from their roots and potential growing points. The ties between the pure sciences and industry are closer than many academics and industrialists allow. Action based on clearer recognition of this could bring a more immediate vitality to both science and industry.
