Huge congratulations to 3rd year PhD student Bea Jones, who was awarded the Roscoe Medal (Gold prize) for Chemistry at the 2023 STEM for Britain event held on 6th March 2023 in the Houses of Parliament.

STEM for Britain is a major scientific poster exhibition which has been held in Parliament since 1997, which aims is to give members of both Houses of Parliament an insight into the outstanding research work being undertaken in UK universities by early-career researchers. 

Bea presented a poster entitled “Controlling Molecular Delivery by Squeezing Liquid Crystal Dispersions with Light” based on her recently published JACS paper (see November 2022 paper of the month). Bea is jointly funded by EPSRC and Diamond Light Source.
