Another exciting science day with @drlaurarandle who talked about DNA and how it helps create the perfect medicine. Each child created their own medicine example based on their individual traits. @pandtuol @LDSTEducation @crontonceschool #superscience #scienceweek25

I can’t make this but I hope @Jackstilgoe & @sarahcastell can remind everyone of the original reason @Sciencewise was founded —> to rebalance the power of who decides what direction science & tech takes in favour of people. If we’re honest we’ve not achieved that; so what next?

1/2 Some interesting reflections from @Reema__Patel on participatory futures, informed by experience of running two recent @IpsosUK public dialogues. Do we need to engage the public now on what governance and regulation needs to be in place when #Robots are supporting our lives?
