The biggest science event in the parliamentary calendar certainly lived up to its billing this year; it was standing room only at Parliamentary Links Day. Organized by the Society of Biology on behalf of the whole science and engineering community and supported by a wide range of scientific societies and organizations including the Biochemical Society, this year's event was held on 24 June 2014 in Portcullis House, Westminster. The theme was Science and Public Trust and the day explored the ways in which the scientific community contributes to the public's trust in science. The importance of effectively engaging UK citizens with science and policy was emphasized throughout the day.
