Unfortunately, science still has a reputation for being a specialism for nerdy academic types, who are socially awkward but intellectually gifted. It´s a field, which disgracefully, is heavily dominated by men, and because the findings of research are never immediate, it is worryingly underfunded and undervalued from both the private and public sectors. In light of this, why not take your family and friends to the European Researchers´ Night on Friday the 29th of September and become a scientist for a day? Science is for everyone, science rocks!
