Blown away by this evening @UKHouseofLords hosted by @FloellaBenjamin. The importance of cultural permanence, representation & collaboration as @windrushmuseum joins @RMGreenwich for a future together. Proud of the (tiny) role we played in this matrix of brilliant people & places

>60% of people either don’t feel R&D benefits ‘people like them’ or feel neutral/unsure about its impacts… “This is a precarious position for a sector that receives substantial public investment.” Excellent insights from #DiscoveryDecade for all in STEM participation 👇
Today we're launching a landmark #DiscoveryDecade study into public opinions on R&D The public are important stakeholders, and our sector must understand and respond to different views about R&D and its value, so that we can make R&D matter to more people https://t.co/Ya9SQq5Zwq

Huge congratulations for the team behind @sherwoodobs planned science discovery centre & planetarium - just awarded a further £3.1 million. It’s an amazing design 👀! Fingers crossed open for visitors as soon as Autumn 2024 👏✨👏 @sciencecentres @BAP_Planetarium
We have secured a £3.1m Levelling Up Round 2 contribution to our SDC & Planetarium project. Subject to raising the remaining funds, we can start building later this year. We would love to hear from businesses in the region who might be interested in sponsorship opportunities.
