Young Academy of Sweden on Research break at Tekniska Museum and Science centre

2021-11-06

On 4–6 November, 22 researchers joined the Tekniska Museum and Science centre in Stockholm to meet children and talk about research. The idea for the collaboration came from the Young Academy of Sweden's (YAS') children's book Researcher Dreams. Signed copies of the book were also first prize in a quiz walk where YAS encouraged visitors to pose questions to the researchers.
