Stereotypical images of scientists make it impossible for young people to relate to & create barriers to pursuing a career in this field. Most of us donāt look like this šš Be yourself! And you can achieve anything you put your mind to!

In 2010, 70% of you were satisfied with the NHS.
Now, only 24% are.
14 years of Tory government understaffing, underfunding & private sector outsourcing have trashed the NHS into a travesty of the service we want to give you.
It is heartbreaking & so disgustingly wrong š
