Abstract This paper examines how modern physics was collected and displayed in the UK over the (long) twentieth century, focusing on the national collections in the Science Museum, London. The emergence and establishment of modern physics roughly overlaps with the development of distinct science and technology museums. This provides an opportunity to explore how collections are shaped in response to scientists’ own narratives of their professional identities, institutional or political priorities, and how certain aspects of the material culture of a scientific area can become closely intertwined with its public image. By tracing the movement of a well-known artefact of modern physics – a cathode-ray tube used by J. J. Thomson in his ‘electron’ experiments – I show how collection boundaries could be porous, although overall collection framings persisted.

It has been widely argued that networks are critical for innovative firms. In the effort to support the growth of these firms, incubators seem to institutionalize support by having systems in place to encourage networking and help firms develop networks with other tenants and potential business allies. However, there is a lack of critical empirical investigation of the different types of networks developed by firms. This paper addresses this issue by systematically examining how firms in incubators develop their networks and what types of networks they might aim to build. The study is based on a survey with firms located at Daresbury Science and Innovation Centre in the UK. The results suggest that incubators often generalize their network support without considering that firms may develop different networks based on their needs. The results also demonstrate that the characteristics of firms do play a role in determining types of network. Science and engineering firms develop networks that differ from those of service and IT firms due to their need to access resources from other innovative firms in incubators, from the Science and Technology Facilities Council and from universities. Similarly, small firms are forced to establish internal and external networks in an attempt to compensate for their lack of resources. Overall, the findings suggest that academic theory on networks of firms in incubators needs to be more nuanced and that the networking support provided by incubators needs to be customized to the actual needs of the incubating firms.

The Impact

<p><em>The development of science and technology today is very fast, it can not be dammed again, and in fact all elements of society feel the impact of these developments. With the advancement of science and technology now Indonesian society in general forced to literacy Saintek to sustain life in the present and future. The results of a survey conducted in the UK showed that about 30 % of workers use science in some aspects of his work . This situation is expected to continue to increase from year to year . The results of a similar survey also showed that competence is most often used by workers is the competence to solve problems, work in teams, and communicate . The second survey showed a similar thing, which both point to the same three competencies : problem solving, working in teams, and communicate . It's all included components Soft Skill. The method used is the method of development up to implementation. demonstrated that the results of observation in science learning that has been implemented in MIN 1 Wonosari got an average score of 115 with a good category " B ". And the formation of character is evident in perubahanya include : increased student atusias, curiosity has been growing, encouraged to work together in groups and are encouraged to problem solving.</em></p><p align="left"><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong>Keyword</strong><em>:</em><em> </em><em>Soft </em><em>s</em><em>kill, </em><em>science instruction</em><em>, </em><em>living education</em><em></em></p>

This chapter aims to: look at the current position of women working in the SET sector from higher education through to the workforce, using data from the UK and USA as examples; consider previous research looking at the lack of women in the sector as a whole and some industries, such as engineering in particular; focus on the construction industry, one of the most gender segregated occupations and working environments (the construction site), in order to examine gendered occupational segregation; provide readers with an in-depth look at women’s underrepresentation in the ICT sector; discuss strategies for including and attracting more women to the computer science and technology occupations, proposed by researchers globally; and highlight why it is important for women to be involved in the creation and production of technology, as well as users and consumers.
