In the UK, many of us don’t value science as much as we should, but it lives beneath the surface of everything we touch and taste. It's the key to our prosperity, one of the driving forces of our economy, and it creates thousands of jobs that keep Britain at the leading edge.

So let’s look again at science: what is it doing for us already? How is it going to drive us to a better future? Why not take a look around, and see how science is touching you.

This website aims to introduce you to a range of interesting science stories alongside opportunities to participate in science, through events, career advice or by doing your own science experiments.
