Having come to science later in life, it was a golden opportunity to share my newfound enthusiasm and spark curiosity in others.

Susan is a PhD student at the University of Reading looking at ways to incorporate house cricket powder or its isolated protein into food products. The expanding world population means that we need to find more sustainable sources of protein to provide nutritious food for everyone and the house cricket is one insect that has potential to be part of the solution.

Q&A

What inspired or motivated you to volunteer with the 澳门六合彩开奖记录?

The Thames Valley Local Section advertised for volunteers to take on education outreach, and the rest is history. Having come to science later in life, it was a golden opportunity to share my newfound enthusiasm and spark curiosity in others.

What has been the biggest challenge when volunteering?

It is an enormous challenge to get state schools involved in events; they seem to have far more hurdles to jump (funding, staff availability, paperwork, etc.) to bring students out of the classroom.

Tell us about something you are excited for/would like to see next (either in the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 member networks, or more widely in science).

I would love to see 澳门六合彩开奖记录 champion a national outreach activity for Years 7 and 8 to get this younger age group properly involved and excited by chemistry.
