Dear All,
The Science Council is working with a major mobile phone
company on a mobile phone app that will enable people to have their burning
science questions answered directly by scientists.
The app, to be launched next month, will invite questions
related to 12 monthly themes including Water, Medical Science, Fashion &
Textiles, Travel & Tourism, Sport, Food, Imagining Different Tomorrows,
Disaster, Space, Earth Science, Wealth & Luxury, and Computers & IT.
All questions and answers will be posted on the Future Morph website (www.futuremorph.org)
where we will give it a careers information twist by showing the jobs of those
answering and we will be developing supporting materials for each topic.
The missing element is the scientists to answer the
questions – and that’s where you come in. While we
can’t predict the questions that will be submitted, it’s likely
that they’ll be a mixture of factual (How do we know black holes exist?)
and careers-based (What exactly does a geologist do?). We’ll be using an
online interface and you can sign up for any or all of the themes – but
you need only answer those questions that you have time for.
If you’re interested in taking part and helping to
reveal the hidden science of the world around us to young people, please email
me ([log in to unmask])
as soon as possible stating your name, contact details and the themes
you’re interested in.
Best wishes,
Holly.
