Because science is for you, for me, for everyone
We The Curious is a place to explore the living, breathing, creative world of science that’s all around us.
The exciting thing about science is it’s never finished, and while it has the potential to transform all our lives for the better, that only works if there is true representation, equity and equality of access for those who make, research, fund, deliver and experience the opportunities and benefits science brings.
To create our Manifesto, we took a step into the unknown, asking the question ‘what is our purpose?’ and perhaps more importantly ‘who are we for?’ It was from these questions that the new direction for our science centre was born. A centre with curiosity at its heart: recognising that, wherever we come from, whoever we are, we all have questions.
How might opening up our way of thinking about science help push the boundaries of who can truly influence science?
