Newcastle's @scienceatlife opens up the world of science to young people from all walks of life.
As an engineer from an impoverished background, I know how vital science and discovery centres are in sparking curiosity and opportunity across the North East.

@sciencecentres
have launched #ScienceCentresForOurFuture to call on the Government to change that.
