Science is very misunderstood.  Many people think it’s too geeky, or too hard, or that a career in science means being a badly paid lab technician in an ill-fitting white coat and with unruly hair.  So we’re helping The Science Council to build a new website so that young people can find out about all the interesting areas of life that need scientists.  The first thing we’re doing is giving the site a new name, so we’ve developed a shortlist of six alternatives with the help of some young designers.  We’re putting each to the public vote.  Please can everyone vote at www.sciencevote.co.uk.  Please also ask everyone else you know to vote too – young, old, schoolchildren, your children, scientists, designers – and if you can pass on this message to any helpful friends (especially schoolkids) that would be much appreciated.  10 Ipods are there to be won as an extra incentive to take part.
