Project host testimonials

Here's a few words from Project Providers who have hosted students:

Charlotte was absolutely brilliant and a pleasure to have in the lab for the 4 weeks, she has a genuine interest in plants and ecology which I hope she pursues at University. The quality of her work was exceptionally high and the data obtained was very interesting not only for her but for the whole of our research group.

Su Hodgson, School of Biological Sciences, Royal Holloway University of London

The main reason I do this is to help in motivating more young people to take up science. 

Raghu Padinjat, Group Leader, Babraham Institute

The scheme allows us to conduct short research projects to investigate topics that we are interested in, but are not yet part of the group's main research programme. Our Nuffield projects have sometimes led to further research being carried out. 

Dr Simon Butler, Senior Technical Officer, Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, University of Cambridge 

The bursary scheme strengthens links with local schools. 

John Chilton, RCUK Academic Fellow, Peninsula Medical School

I gained by having someone ask me about basic assumptions that we make: this was a good "sanity check" on the direction of the work being done. 

Martin Bell, Staff Six Sigma Black Belt, Seagate Technology
