Melissa Wins Place on XMaS Scientist Experience
Just before the Easter holidays began the Physics Department received the amazing news that Melissa Hennessy has won a place on the XMaS Scientist Experience. This means that next year she will be jetting off to Grenoble to take part in the Synchrotron@School Programme in the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF).
Melissa won her place on the four day all expenses paid trip after entering the national XMaS competition. She completed a newspaper article on the life and works of Physicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell, highlighting the impact she has had in narrowing the vast gender imbalance in the Physics world. This is the fourth consecutive year that MTGS have had winners in this competition and we know from previous girls’ experiences that Melissa is going to have a fabulous time.
Well done, Melissa!
