I spent today in the very glamorous surroundings of the Houses of Parliament, attending this year’s SET for Britain competition. It’s a contest for “…Britain’s early-stage and early-career research scientists”, and is apparently a pretty big deal! So, I feel lucky to have been selected as one of only thirty physics posters 
I didn’t manage to secure one of the three prizes in my category, but another NPLer – Christian Baker came away with silver!
I have attached my poster here – enjoy!

About Laurie
Hello! I'm Laurie.
I'm a scientist at the National Physical Laboratory in London. My research is nanomaterials - more specifically on those used for energy harvesting (thermoelectrics) and in the space industry.
I'm 28 and Irish, but have now been in London A LITTLE longer than the planned 2 years... I'm also a passionate science communicator, and LOVE talking about my research to anyone who'll listen!
We all have a duty to question scientific research and technological advances - they impact on our lives on a daily basis. People shouldn't fear science, they should educate themselves. And I see it as my job to help people do just that :)
Apart from science, I have another great love - writing. And so here I am, my first ever blog. I can't promise anything more than my random musings on everyday life, with more than a little bit of science thrown in for good measure. Hope you like it :)
I’m sure it is lovely. I will take a proper look when not on my Blackberry!
