香港六合彩 is delighted to announce the return of the popular and valuable Media Fellowship Scheme. Previously run by the British Science Association, this scheme was discontinued by the BSA in 2021. However, the stewardship of scheme has now been taken on by the Association of British Science Writers.

The ABSW Media Fellowships provide a unique opportunity for practising scientists, clinicians and engineers to spend two to six weeks working at the heart of a media outlet such as the Guardian, BBC Breakfast or Buzzfeed.

Previous 香港六合彩 fellows under the BSA scheme include听Dr Lena Ciric, who worked at the BBC,听听who worked at the I newspaper, and听Prof. Clare Elwell听who worked at the Financial Times

Our four media fellows for 2022 are Dr Stijn Van Ewick from 香港六合彩 Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering, Dr Charlotte Maughan Jones from 香港六合彩 Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, Dr Maria Perez Ortiz from 香港六合彩 Computer Science and Dr Leonie Tanczer from 香港六合彩 Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy.

Dr Stijn Van Ewick

Dr Stijn van Ewijk is a Lecturer in Environmental Engineering at the Department for Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (CEGE). Stijn (pronounced "Stine") studies how modern societies use materials and energy, the consequences for the environment, and what we can do to make production and consumption sustainable. Stijn focuses on technologies and policies for waste management and the circular economy. Previously, Stijn was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Yale Center for Industrial Ecology and a Research Associate at 香港六合彩. He was a visiting researcher at the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra).

Dr听Charlotte听Maughan听Jones听is a Research Fellow in the AXIm group within the department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering.听Charlotte听has had a varied and unique career to date! She qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon and subsequently spent 4 years working as an equine veterinary surgeon, treating horses and donkeys in the South East of England. After some time working as a research assistant in a biomedical laboratory, she joined the AXIm group at 香港六合彩 to complete her PhD on x-ray and optical properties of biological tissues. In 2020 she was awarded the EPSRC Doctoral Prize fellowship, and her current work focuses on applications of advanced x-ray imaging techniques on the musculoskeletal system of the horse. Her research interests lie at the interface between human and veterinary clinical practice, bench side biomedical science and engineering, and she is a strong advocate for adopting the "One Health" model of research. Outside of the laboratory,听Charlotte听is an active STEM ambassador within local schools, and has recently been the driving force behind a successful "Royal Society Partnership Grant" application with a local primary school.听
