About the author
Created in York on September 26, 1831, the British Association for the Advancement of Science was established to promote science and encourage collaboration across different fields. For much of its history, it became especially well known for its annual meetings, which brought scientists and the public together and helped make new ideas more widely discussed.
The organization later began trading as the British Science Association in 2009, though its formal name remained the same. It is a registered charity and describes its mission in terms of making science more relevant, representative, and connected to society.
Today, its work includes public events and engagement projects across the UK, including the British Science Festival and British Science Week. Rather than serving as a single author in the usual sense, it stands behind a long tradition of sharing scientific knowledge in an accessible, public-facing way.
