BS: In terms of the children or families - is there a general message that you're trying to give about science or are you trying to teach them scientific principles or?

SB: We're not just about teaching them Newton's laws of physics, no. I think we're trying to present science um - as something that's relevant, and it's for them but we're not really particularly trying to teach them- I think we're a bit - careful about misconceptions, we don't want to give people - incorrect information. [Science - attitudes] I think one of the safest things to say and to write is people, scientists think that. And I think sometimes that gets forgotten and people say "this is a fact" "This happens" and "this is a fact" and whatever. I think we do have to be careful there. [Science - Understanding]
