UK govt policies incl nature, climate, food, housing & transport must be grounded in solid science

Our govt prioritises economic growth by constructing unsustainable housing, weakening environmental regulations, & supporting airport expansion, leaving the UK unprepared for the future

Why can't you trust an atom?
Because they make up everything

Why can’t we trust government policy?
Because they ignore science

Inaction in a climate & nature crisis isn’t funny

Scientists are powerful advocates for action 🥼

📄 Research, reports & letters haven’t been enough to empower effective policy interventions

It’s terrifying & frustrating to observe the emergency from our desks, labs & field sites

We must bring science to politics

Our first ‘ask’ of our country’s elected leaders & decision makers?

That they understand the most essential science; what the threats to life on Earth are, how they’re connected, the scale & urgency of the crisis & what we can do

Einstein developed a theory about space…
… and it was about time too

It’s time for science-led policy

Einstein would have joined a rally at parliament
