During @senseaboutsci.bsky.social #EvidenceWeek we presented data on how a research-driven approach to STEM education can impact students’ skills, confidence and knowledge of the careers open to them.
Thank you to all the MPs and peers who we spoke to us on the day.

This year, more parliamentary offices than ever joined #EvidenceWeek. It reached 1 in every 5 MP offices, meeting a growing demand for research in policy.
From our reverse committee hearing, to trainings and policy briefings, a huge thanks to everyone who helped make it a success this year!

Fascinating to take part in #EvidenceWeek and discuss how publicly funded research can tackle our major challenges, from improving access to essential services to combating climate change.
It was great to meet with Windracers and SeaCURE to hear how they're innovating in their sectors.

Earlier this week, during the #EvidenceWeek opening reverse committee, @laurenceto.bsky.social joined us at Westminster to ask MPs a question on an issue that matters to him - it's great to have public voices shaping the conversation on evidence and policy.

“Science has recently been the professed interest of just a handful of MPs… But this year, something has changed.”
Our Director Tracey Brown explores Parliament's growing interest among MPs in science and research, and how #EvidenceWeek helps bridge the gap between policymakers and researchers.

Evidence matters. This week in Parliament, #EvidenceWeek is bringing researchers, MPs and the public together to look at how we use facts and data to make better decisions. A great reminder that good policy starts with good evidence.
