      Yes I do. At STFC I get involved in quite a lot of outreach activities (like hosting site visits, delivering careers talks at schools, or helping out with problem solving workshops), where I try and show young people how cool STEM is, and hopefully inspire them to follow careers in science and engineering.

      Not in my day to day work but I do quite a bit of outreach. Usually it’s just talks I give at schools or to children who visit my university. It’s one of the highlights though, I always find their questions really interesting and get me thinking in a different way.
