which you can think of as all of the science-related knowledge and experiences and resources that you can build up over the course of your life and use that to exchange value in science-related spaces.

The Science Capital was first proposed by Louise Archer and her colleagues at King's College London in about 2015.

And since then, it's given researchers in science communication a really powerful tool for understanding why some people are more likely to end up in science-related study and careers than other people.

And we found that science capital is really strongly linked to someone's socioeconomic background and status and access to cultural capital.

But I still have the skills to be able to do those everyday things.

And I think science is exactly the same way.

There's a fantastic paper by Louise Archer and colleagues where they talk about the science pipeline being a really damaging metaphor because it assumes that science training is only good if you want to go on to become a scientist.

And they presented this fantastic analogy of the science springboard.
