Angharad Morgan’s story is a powerful testament to the impact science centres can have on the lives of local communities. A visit to Swansea’s Oriel Science ignited her passion for STEM, leading to a first-class degree from Oxford and a career as a Natural Capital Specialist at Natural England. She is the first person in her family to go to University. Her example underlines the vital role of science centres in boosting science capital and making STEM accessible to all, regardless of background.
The Association for Science and Discovery Centres (ASDC), a vibrant charity that brings together the UK’s regional STEM learning organisations is also committed to showcasing these transformative stories.
As part of the Association for Science and Discovery Centres' Valuing Inclusion project, the ASDC conducted interviews with individuals working in diverse science careers, representing a wide range of roles, ages, and stages in their professional journeys. These stories highlight the many pathways into science, showing that opportunities are within reach for everyone.
