| Results and Impact | Volunteered as part of AstraZeneca (Industrial sponsor) team at the Cambridge Science Festival 2019. The practical activity aimed to teach children about the importance of drug formulation. The activity was incredibly popular with very positive feedback. In particular, several parents reported that their child had an increased interest in science after doing the activity. Although the practical activity was aimed predominately at children the event sparked discussions with multiple parents about the drug development process. Many also asked about my PhD and the focus of my research. |
