Bill says “I'm an instinctive not an analytical writer but late in my career I'm beginning to see how the process really works. I hope this talk will be of use to imaginative writers and researchers alike—we are all treading the same road..."

Read on for all your summer highlights — don't miss out on the fun.

Keep scrolling to find out what's on 👇

Final weeks: Future of Food

This month is your last chance to see Future of Food, our special exhibition that's 'a fun, free way to explore how science is reshaping food' (London Standard). 

See fascinating objects like a 3,500-year-old loaf of bread, take part in multiplayer interactive games and discover the answers to vital questions about the future of our plate and our planet. Closes 1 September.

Hours of hands-on fun for less

Celebrate a piece of lunar history

55 years ago today, astronaut David Scott picked up what would become known as the 'Great Scott' rock from the surface of the Moon, as part of the Apollo 15 mission. 

After the astronauts and their sample returned to Earth, a fragment of this 3.3-billion-year-old rock made its way to the Science Museum — and you can get up close to this chunk of lunar history in our free Space gallery.

Immerse yourself in a world of bubbles

Join our Explainers for Bubble Explorers, our exciting live show packed with surprising science for young children and their families.

Full of hands-on play and wow moments, including the chance to step inside a giant bubble, it's a great way for little ones to have fun while igniting their science curiosity.
