I work in Public Engagement for a large science research council & spend my life telling people how awesome science (& my job) really is. (née Vicky Spiers)

As part of the Powering up Britain initiative, yesterday PM @RishiSunak visited @UKAEAofficial & @OAS_UKAEA where he met our apprentice Holly. They discussed her experiences on the apprenticeship programme, which provides great opportunities for the next generation of engineers.

Well done Holly Stowell, pictured at the High Sheriff Awards in Engineering. Alongside the quality of Holly's piece, the judges recognised her inspiring commitment to work in the engineering industry & wide variety of work experience & virtual opportunities she has undertaken.

My toilet roll Ernest Rutherford is famous #rollmodel #loominary 🤣
Today's #LOOminaries contribution is Ernest Rutherford - and our site is named after him here @RutherfordApLab. Anyone else have an inspirational scientist or engineer they'd like to share?

My daughter is looking for a work experience placement within the aeronautic/aerospace industry - ideally within commuting distance from OX14. Can anyone recommend a good place for her to approach?

Satellite sound testing at RAL today. Got to stand right next to the gigantic banks of speakers whilst they were blasting out 113 decibels of noise to simulate a rocket launch!
