- Accelerators brochureThe brochure was produced by the Science and Technology Facilities Council, the Cockcroft Institute and the Institute of Physics. It was commissioned to raise public awareness of the benefits of particle accelerators in research, through case studies that answer questions such as: How can we meet our energy needs without adding to greenhouse gas emissions? How will border protection agencies, and the technology they use, continually evolve to face the ever growing threat of terrorist attacks? How can we find new ways of preserving our cultural heritage? Featuring particle accelerators from around the world, the brochure highlights how accelerators influence our everyday lives by covering topics such as: Energy- solar cells, keeping the lights on at power stations and turning carbon monoxide into fuel. Radiotherapy- treating cancer patients, improving diagnosis and radiotherapy efficiency, and developing new cancer treatments. Medicine- treating HIV, detecting Parkinson’s disease and dealing with diabetes. The environment- storing hydrogen, studying clouds and decontaminating Fukushima. Industry- fuelling the economy, making life sweeter and making aircraft safer. Security- detecting terrorist threats, solving mysterious deaths and fighting counterfeiters. And finally, the natural world and heritage science- conserving our heritage, calculating landslide risks and analysing Roman remains.

Science Writer

My role at STFC involves writing and editing web pages and publications to describe scientific discoveries and commercial developments in all branches of STFC science and engineering, innovation and skills. For this purpose I have to interview experts about scientific discoveries and developments, and explain their importance to society and people’s everyday lives. Reading and researching specialist media and literature, including scientific papers, company reports and newspapers is essential, as is being able to convey complex information to a range of audiences, including non-scientists, in a clear, engaging and concise manner. I work with colleagues to plan the content and timescales of publications, and bring relevant information to the attention of other members of the external communications team.
