There were also no projects in the pipeline that was worthy of extra funding. "They simply don't deserve it". Steve, a spokesperson for the RDSU, siad "This is ridiculous. We have worked very hard and can't get anything done without funding. We're paying for microscopes out of our own pocket. We deserve this extra funding and I'll be damned if we don't get it".
