This month Matt went to the Houses of Parliament to take part in the annual SET for Britain event, designed to get researchers talking to MPs and policy makers about their science. You can look at his poster here. If you do, you’ll be showing more interest than UK politicians: not only was the Science Minister completely absent from the event, but neither Matt’s workplace nor home MP responded to their invitations, and the only MP who did stop by did so because she mistakenly believed he was a constituent (Nicola Blackwood, thank you anyway)! A sharp lesson in how much our elected representatives really care about basic science, then, but a nice day out all the same…
