Science: not just for scientists The British Science Association (BSA) has today launched its first essay collection exploring the themes surrounding the organisation’s vision. The collection includes contributions from the organisation’s Chief Executive, Imran Khan; newly appointed Chair, Lord David Willetts; and current President, Professor Dame Athene Donald. There are also essays by figures including economist Dame Frances Cairncross; scientist in residence at the Rambert, Professor Nicky Clayton; and Matt Locke, founder of Storythings. The BSA was first established in 1831 by a group of polymaths, inventors and historians of science. They sought greater national attention for the aims of science. Following a strategy review in 2014, however, the British Science Association now wants to look beyond what happens in the lab and help create a world where science is at the heart of society and culture.Download full release (pdf)
