Science Works

A policy, research, & software studio built to accelerate progress in British science and technology.

We have a new Data Centre Covenant. But, until now, there was no detailed overview of what data centre capacity the UK plans to build: how much, where, and when?

What signals are there about demand for UK compute?

Our new report has the answers – which may surprise you! 🧵👇

🚨 come work with us! 🚨

We're looking for a Research Associate (London, UK): someone curious and diligent to investigate how philanthropy is allocated in science, and how it’s changing the way that science is organised and funded.

Apply here by the 18th November

If the Dems do clamp down on data centres, other countries become more attractive bases for compute. Huge opportunity for the UK!

Some really great stuff in here 👇

"There is a very real risk that the existing diversity of scientific institutions we currently have is insufficient for society to adapt as rapidly and successfully as we would like."

I'm biased but I really think we have the best team in policy – a joy to be in the office every day.

come join us!

We are looking for a research associate to join our team on the philanthropy side!!!
You’ll study how wealth from technology and AI could reshape scientific philanthropy, looking at new institutions and funding models and speaking with the people behind them :)
London-based, more info below!

Come work with us to find out how the incoming wave of philanthropy will impact science!

[Alex Chalmers @chalmermagne]

The team at @sci_works are applying much-needed critical thinking and analytical rigour to the institutions that shape how British science and technology is funded, including how they're structured, what they prioritise, and if they have the right tools.

Worth checking out!

Great job here in one of Britain's most exciting new organisations.

I think it’s neat that we have so much cashmere and carbon fiber and titanium and sapphire crystals and diamond and quantum dots and fiber optic glass

Some great releases from @sci_works this past week.

They are offering a window into what modern academic research looks like: a handful of entrepreneurial researchers that eat tokens in very creative ways.

Social science/think tank land should take note!

Science will look very different within a decade. DeepMind alumni are set to determine whether the UK keeps up.

Had lots of fun and lots of not fun putting this together with @adjajadikerta 🫶

Always a tendency to keep pouring over data in pursuit of perfect accuracy, but surely better to make the explorer a community project – please do submit corrections, additions, thoughts! 🇬🇧
