Ask a Scientist Information

We believe that science is the key to the future and vital to help us better understand and improve the world we live in. Our main driving force is to get young people between the ages of 14 to 25 talking and discussing science more, to inspire them with the wonders of the scientific world, to show people how fun science can be and to hopefully get some to make a career out of it. But it doesn’t stop there; people over 26 can by all means participate too – after all, we never stop learning and craving answers. We don’t want to restrict the site to certain groups, and believe that it should be open to everyone – to ask questions, give opinions on answers and generally have a good time and share knowledge! With the help from a bunch of some of the top scientific minds from around the UK, our aim is to let anyone with an interest in science to be able to ask any question they want (within reason!) and get an answer from a professional scientist who knows what they’re talking about!
