The Hopes and Fears Lab is cheerful, playful, open, and fully accessible Pop-Up Cardboard Lab.

It is designed specifically to bring disengaged and disempowered publics into conversation with professional scientists in a space that is new and exciting for everyone.  No ‘home team’ science advantage in this Lab!

The conversations in the Lab are often wide-ranging and in-depth. They are not ‘mini lectures’ and do not require any prior knowledge from the public participants.

We have run the Lab successfully in many different settings Including:

City centre venue open to     anyone passing by,

Particular faith-based or interest- based communities,

Economically disadvantaged   areas.
