New MPs, civil servants and scientists are about to trade places and swap roles as the Royal Society Pairing Scheme 2025 kicks off on Monday. 30 UK scientists will be shadowing a range of parliamentarians and civil servants over a week that will include the Spring Statement: #PairingScheme25 https://lnkd.in/eBcFMYbN
The Royal Society
Non-profit Organizations
The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship of many of the world’s most distinguished scientists.
About us
The Royal Society is the world's oldest scientific academy in continuous existence, and has been at the forefront of enquiry and discovery since its foundation in 1660. The backbone of the Society is its Fellowship of the most eminent scientists of the day, elected by peer review for life and entitled to use FRS after their name. There are currently more than 60 Nobel Laureates amongst the Society's approximately 1400 Fellows and Foreign Members. Throughout its history, the Society has promoted excellence in science through its Fellowship and Foreign Membership, which has included Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Ernest Rutherford, Albert Einstein, Dorothy Hodgkin, Francis Crick, James Watson and Stephen Hawking. The Society is independent of government, as it has been throughout its existence, by virtue of its Royal Charters. In 1663, The Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge was granted its Arms and adopted the motto "Nullius in verba", an expression of its enduring commitment to empirical evidence as the basis of knowledge about the natural world. The Society's activities include influencing science and education policy, funding leading researchers, publishing journals that span all the sciences and the history of science, and the provision of science communication activities for a variety of public audiences.

It's great to see Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow and UK Young Academy member Dr Sophie Meekings featured in the British Science Association's #SmashingStereotypes campaign for #BritishScienceWeek #BSW25:
Now in its 6th year, our #SmashingStereotypes campaign for #BSW25 is back! We're spotlighting remarkable individuals in diverse STEM careers, from astronomy to climate science, who are breaking barriers -because there's no 'typical' path to STEM success! #BSW25 Read the full news story here: https://lnkd.in/eDdHi3JG Let’s introduce you to a few Smashing Stereotypes profiles… Meet Dr Nic Bonne from University of Portsmouth, a vision impaired astronomer whose passion for all things astronomy stems from trips stargazing as a child. Now, through the project Tactile Universe, he's making astronomy accessible to all. Read his story: https://lnkd.in/epGK5m_J Meet Pearl Ayem – a physical climate scientist passionate about the world around her. Born in India and raised in Canada, her love for nature led her to climate science. Now, she uses her data whizz skills at Sillion to help businesses tackle their climate risks for a sustainable future. Read her story: https://lnkd.in/egmgDyzx Meet Tendai T. from veafy® who went from a career in construction to plant-based, African inspired meals in kitchen. Now he’s scaling up his business with impressive achievements like the NatWest Accelerator. He’s proving that STEM skills go beyond the lab! Read his story: https://lnkd.in/emK_X7sq More profiles to be shared soon. Keep a look out at #SmashingStereotypes during #BSW25 but in the meantime, we’d love to hear yours – tell us using the official hashtag!

We are very happy to announce that the winner of this year's Royal Society Young People's Book Prize is 'Can you get rainbows in space?', written by Dr Sheila Kanani and illustrated by Liz Kay, taking readers on a journey over the rainbow with fascinating facts and engaging illustrations exploring the science behind every colour - from why some monkeys have red bottoms, to how peacocks' feathers are an optical illusion. Today's announcement was made at a ceremony Glasgow after a record-breaking 19,000 young judges across the country voted for their winner. https://lnkd.in/ebU-TzKh

DNA fragments in air, soil and water, known as environmental or eDNA, could be used in crime investigations, to monitor pollution and enviromental quality, to warn of biosecurity threats, and more according to a new report from the Royal Society. The 'Environmental DNA' explainer explores potential applications for monitoring eDNA as well as a number of ethical, legal, data and infrastructure challenges that must be resolved to harness these opportunities. https://lnkd.in/eFQVBfwH
