Everything by Stephen James Smith
Everything by Stephen James Smith
'Everything' aims to view science and climate action from a different perspective with thought provoking comparisons of the positive and negative impacts scientific discoveries have had on our lives.
"Climate change is the biggest challenge our generation faces and yet, for many people, climate action does not relate to their lives. Everything aims to make science and climate change more personal and relatable for people and I am honoured to have worked with Science Foundation Ireland to create it and I hope people enjoy it.”
