The survey is the first of its kind since 2019, providing ‘a new baseline for attitudes to science in a post-pandemic era’.
Public values scientists but fewer feel informed about science, UK survey finds
Survey will provide government with insights on how the public perception of science could be improved

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

“After all, research supervisors are just as good as their students” — Sir J. Fraser Stoddart.

A wise take-home message from one of the founding fathers of MASC—who sadly passed away almost a year ago—in a 1991 BBC broadcast.
