Governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney is urging people to ‘Think Science’ for the new £50. The banknote will feature a historical character who has contributed to science in the U.K. and anyone can nominate a scientist they think fits the bill (pun absolutely intended)! Here at LIA we think that Fred would be an ideal candidate – with his important contributions to fields such as automotive engineering, aeronautics, optics, mathematics, physics and more, Fred truly embodied the qualities of the ideal scientist: curiosity, creativity, resourcefulness and ingenuity.
Have we convinced you yet? If you too think that Fred should appear on the new £50, use the hashtags #GetFredOnthe50 and #ThinkScience on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to build some buzz around the campaign! Remember to tag us in your posts: @lanchester_ia on Twitter and Instagram, @lanchesterinteractive on Facebook.
You can also nominate Fred yourself by completing this form on the Bank of England website – it only takes about five minutes and the more nominations the better!
But 250 characters are precious few to cram in all of Fred’s achievements so here is one idea – can you do better? Share your nominations using the hashtag #GetFredOnThe50
