Challenge Britain’s Change-Makers
What do you think about stem cell research … the severn barrage…or how science is portrayed in the media?
Celebrate this year’s National Science and Engineering Week (6th -15th March) by sharing your hopes, fears and observations about ‘change’, this year’s theme, via a new online forum from the British Science Association.
The Change Exchange will provide a compelling snapshot of our attitudes towards science, engineering and society from your thoughts on human-cloning to the move to low-carbon living. Visit the Change Exchange to get answers, directly, from the nation’s leading scientists and engineers – the people making change happen.
Science and Innovation Minister Lord Drayson will be joining the discussion along with handbag designer Anya Hindmarch and comedian Ben Miller, ambassadors for the Science: [So What? So Everything] campaign.
Announcing the launch of the Change Exchange, Roland Jackson, Chief Executive of the British Science Association, said:
'The theme of change is an important one because it goes to the heart of what science and engineering are all about. Some find this exciting, others may feel threatened. The Change Exchange is a unique opportunity for people to share their views and hear directly from the experts.'
National Science and Engineering Week is coordinated by the British Science Association in partnership with the Engineering and Technology Board (ETB) and is funded by the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS).
Lord Drayson, Minister for Science and Innovation said:
'The theme of change in National Science and Engineering Week is very apt as we celebrate Darwin’s 200th anniversary. Darwin’s theories of evolutionary change were mind-blowing in his day, but changing perceptions and challenging theories are still very much a key part of modern science.
'NSEW offers a fantastic opportunity for everyone to discover science and engineering through national events and online forums. The Change Exchange web forum I will be taking part in is one great example of this.'
Last year over 1.4 million people took part in over 3,500 events across the UK, a 650,000 increase on the previous year.
