We caught up with RSC members Ella and Philippa, who undertook the 2020/21 Westminster Fellowship, to hear about their experiences working in Parliament.
Every year the RSC runs its Westminster Fellowship Scheme in partnership with the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST). This is an opportunity for our members who are undertaking, or recently completed, PhD studies to spend three months working for POST in Parliament, helping to ensure policy makers have access to the latest scientific and research evidence.
In 2020/21, RSC members Ella Rice and Philippa Kearney undertook the Westminster Fellowship. Ella was undertaking a PhD at the University of Edinburgh focusing on the on the development of aluminium catalysts, while Philippa was undertaking a PhD at the University of Bath on the topic of plastic pollution in the oceans. We asked them about their motivations for applying and what they valued most about their time working in Parliament.
