XMaS Scientist Experience
The MTGS Physics Department received the amazing news that Year 12 pupil, Emily, has won a place on the XMaS Scientist Experience. This means that in June, she will be jetting off to Grenoble to take part in the Synchrotron@School Programme in the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). Some 8000 scientists visit this particle accelerator every year, and Emily will be able to experience what life might be like as an international research scientist.
Emily won one of 16 places on the four day all expenses paid trip, organised by The University of Warwick, after entering the national XMaS competition. Her winning essay was entitled ‘Ada Yonath: her life and contributions to science’ and highlighted the impact that Ada has had in narrowing the vast gender imbalance in STEM by becoming the first woman from the Middle East to win a Nobel prize in the sciences.
This is the fifth year that MTGS have had winners in this competition, and we know from previous girls’ experiences that Emily is going to have a fabulous time. A huge well done, Emily!
