Spotlighting Materials & Nanoscience

Our materials/nano science project consists of two parts: The RealSci_Nano Twitter account which is taken over (curated) by a different scientist on a regular frequency, and Under the Microscope podcast in which we interview the curators about their work and careers. The twitter takeover is an extension of the broader and wider Real Scientists account which runs on a similar concept.
Find out about all our past curators and listen to their interviews here!
Our vision
We want to bridge the gap between materials and nano scientists and the general public.
Our Mission
Through twitter and podcasting, we provide a free accessible platform for scientists to engage with the public.
We encourage scientists to discuss both their research and their experiences, to challenge stereotypes and provide diverse role models.
