What is The Spark?
Initially conceived as a way to connect with the communities our CLD team work with during the pandemic, The Spark Magazine has evolved, with over 7,500 hard copies distributed across Scotland quarterly and a digital version downloaded worldwide.
In addition to our magazine, is our Spark of Science Podcast, a two-minute weekly journey through different science concepts and inspiring stories. We make complex ideas accessible and enjoyable for all listeners – tune in on your favourite streaming channel!
