But research at universities is highly questionable in many respects. And it has nothing to do with the part of the sector you look at. Most research takes place at the Russell Group places (indeed, it is why the group exists).

If you look at how research is funded, both privately and publicly, you'll see clear patterns. Where the money goes and where it doesn't. And why.

Try undertaking a doctorate questioning the approach to treating trans kids and see what happens. I've seen it. Not pretty at all. Horrifying.
What's the "why".
