Tonight's launch event for my new book How Should a Government be with CSaP - The Centre for Science and Policy fellows, @robdoubleday, Clare Moriarty and Lord Richard Wilson was truly special. I couldn't have thought of a better group of people to do this with. Thank you all! Profile Books PEW Literary

#education above all.
