Supporting everyone in the world to get involved in shaping the future of human knowledge.
What is ‘Science for All’
‘Science for All’ is a charity that supports everyone in the world to get involved in shaping the future of human knowledge.
What we do
We recognise that many of the challenges facing the planet today do not have solutions which fall into categories such as ‘public health’, ‘environmental studies’ and ‘education’. We recognise that knowledge takes many forms - this includes people who are subject area experts, people with traditional, Indigenous or local knowledge – and those with big dreams and big ideas.
Our aim is to bring together experts from these diverse areas to work in partnership with as many people as possible by using a combination of free face-to- face events in metropolitan and rural areas, as well as online tools.
We do this through our projects such as 'Standardised Data on Initiatives (STARDIT)', 'Campfires and Science' and 'Wild DNA'.
Standardised Data on Initiatives (STARDIT)
STARDIT is an open access data-sharing system to standardise the way that information about initiatives is reported.
STARDIT is free to use, and data can be submitted by anyone.
More information about STARDIT can be found here: ScienceForAll.World/STARDIT
A peer-reviewed article about STARDIT and the co-creation process to date can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1186/s40900-022-00363-9 (pre-review version here).
Other projects
We do this through projects like 'Campfires and Science' and 'Wild DNA'.
‘Campfires and Science’ is a new and growing community of people who head outdoors, light a campfire, and share knowledge. We lead regular trips into the wilderness to support scientific research and provide hands-on learning about how to do research.

Wild DNA
For this project we are training people to collect environmental DNA samples and contribute to improving biodiversity in the Victorian Central Highlands, Australia. Here is a report about this research project. Learn more about the Wild DNA project here.

Back in 2020 we interviewed @jacknunn @scifall for the podcast about the shocking discovery of his family's genetic secrets. Read more about his story here: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/feb/26/strange-but-ultimately-positive-genetic-discovery-reveals-up-to-1000-relatives-linked-to-prolific-sperm-donor and listen to him talking with @Kat_Arney about his experiences and work: https://geneticsunzipped.com/blog/2020/1/16/family-secrets-revealed-by-genetic-testing
Our Director Jack Nunn tells the story of his experiences which led him to set up Science for All and work on Standardised Data on Initiatives (STARDIT)

“We need better data to help all of us make informed decisions, so we can make decisions which align with our values"

Someone you know have lived experience of dementia or is a family carer? @scifall is looking for people to co develop outcome measures. Deadline extended for a few weeks so still time to circulate /register interest. @hetbag @drakesyard @eczemasupport https://twitter.com/scifall/status/1617367594511761408
Science for All is working with the Uni of Queensland to involve people affected by dementia in co-developing core outcomes for care.
We're paying people for their time to be involved in this project. Read more and register your interest here:
