Paid 4-week STEM Teaching Summer Internships – South Yorkshire Futures, in partnership with Hallam Teaching School Alliance (TSA), are currently offering a significant number of paid, school-based internships for June/July 2020 – these 4-week internships pay £1200 and are open to undergraduates studying Maths, Physics or Engineering at any stage of their degree (providing they have not completed one of these internships before). Even if you are not sure if you want to go into teaching in the future, it is a great way to develop the Communication, Planning and Interpersonal skills that are so often valued in industry. To express your interest in these roles, please complete the online form at http://www.network2learn.com/home/paid-internships.

A huge congratulations to our returning final year student Brad Davy who has just returned from a year-long placement at Diamond Light Source working on "Reducing sample consumption for serial crystallography using acoustic drop ejection". His work has been published in the Journal of Synchrotron Radiation and is available as an Open Source paper for everyone to read. Give it a read at http://journals.iucr.org/s/issues/2019/05/00/gb5089/

Fantastic achievement, Brad!
