#4A long time ago, as a related outreach to promote children aspiring to work in science, the Oregon Graduate Institute made sports-like trading cards of their scientists, to distribute to area children.
This project in London might emphasize diversity more, which is great. Not just "Being a scientist is interesting, and conceivably something I could do" (and incidentally it features a diversity of people) -- but more directly going for the reaction of "Someone who looks like me can be a scientist". We still need that.
We also still need to follow through on supporting that, once the kids manage to arrive at college, grad school, and the job market.

#5The exhibition before that was lots of pictures from the moon landing, which was great.
They also had a series for pride. It was sponsored by skittles, but sadly not only was the logo in greyscale, but they didn't have the the slogan "taste the rainbow". Its london, You've gotta go all in with humour, or it just looks like pride washing....

The Skittles logo is always greyscale when they sponsor Pride events. I have no idea whether it's pride-washing, but it has more thought put into it than most.

They also sell packs of white Skittles (i.e. the colors of the rainbow are taken). It's clever if nothing else, I'll give them that.

#8Lets try any possible silly idea, except really improving the work conditions for scientists

Maybe an attempt at improving the public image of scientists by humanism can help accomplish that.

#10Can't help but notice a huge over-representation of field scientists. That seems a bit deceptive.
