Abstract
What’s the biggest problem affecting the science centre, science museum, informal science learning and science communication sectors? For me, it’s how science learning and engagement practices cater for the dominant groups in our societies at the expense of minoritised groups. Many of us claim that ‘science for all’ is a core value in our professional practice. But my research shows that exclusion is embedded across the different practices that try to bring publics and sciences together. Informal science learning and science communication practices reproduce rather than ameliorate social inequalities. I know this is unacceptable to many of us, so what do we do?
