People still value scientists. But fewer people feel informed about science.
That’s the gap science communication has to close.
At @FuturumCareers, we see this clearly: raising science literacy, supporting teachers, broadening careers awareness and challenging stereotypes are not side issues — they’re central to building an informed, inclusive future for science.

We’re delighted to see a Futurum article featured in the TES resources blog post on exploring sustainability!
The blog features a collection of lessons, activities and projects to help teachers discuss sustainability with secondary students and highlights Dr Daniel Flippo’s Futurum brochure as a 5-star resource.
An associate professor at Kansas State University in the US, Dan is researching how robotics can help farmers to maximise the land they have to grow food on. His Futurum resource explains his research, provides an insight into careers in biological and agricultural engineering and includes a link to a virtual walk around his lab.

In their CPD resource, Professor Katherine Wilson and Dr Thomas Pickles, historians at the University of Chester in the UK, tell us about their 'Mobility of Objects' project, which seeks to reinvigorate history education through the incorporation of everyday medieval objects. Their approach, emphasising hands-on exploration and critical inquiry, demonstrates how material culture profoundly enhances historical understanding and pedagogy.

Well, that was fun!
It's always a pleasure creating podcasts with researchers, but, this time, we thought we'd have a go ourselves. In this podcast, we give a behind-the-scenes tour of our editorial and production process. We talk about how we collaborate with researchers to create educational resources based on their research and careers, and about how these resources can be used by teachers and students. We also discuss our favourite things about working for Futurum Careers...

To keep us safe and avoid cybercrime, it is essential our data is private. However, building efficient algorithms that maintain data privacy is challenging, especially as cybercriminals become increasingly sophisticated in their operations. Dr Clément Canonne is a theoretical computer scientist at The University of Sydney in Australia. He is researching how advanced computational techniques can best future-proof our data, while maintaining efficiency.
