Swansea University STEM Ambassador Receives Royal Society Of Biology Outreach And Engagement Award

We are thrilled to congratulate STEM Ambassador Dr Claire Price on this prestigous Award! The Postdoc researcher has been recognised for bringing a science festival to South Wales.

The RSB Outreach and Engagement Awards celebrate researchers who communicate their scientific work using novel methods that effectively engage with their target audiences.

Dr Price curated and delivered the first Bitesize Science Festival in her home town of Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales during the summer of 2019 – the first science festival of its kind in the town, and one of the first few to be held outside a university city.

Dr Price also teamed up with the local high school and trained pupils to deliver science activities to younger children, with the help of researchers from Swansea University.

As a result of this, the high school has also launched its first science club to help pupils take part in more outreach and engagement.

A dedicated science communicator, Dr Price also is a science advisor to Abercanaid Community School and has been previously involved in Soapbox Science events, Pint of Science events and other, more specialised science exhibitions.

Dr Price said of receiving the award: “I am completely shocked and awed to have received this award. I got involved in outreach and engagement because I love being able to share my passion for science with others."

Llongyfarchiadau Claire!
