One of my photos of NPL’s Royal Society Summer Science exhibit has been published on the BBC News website accompanying a story about the event.
The photo shows a simple experiment demonstrating how a thermoelectric generator creates energy. Two small baths, one filled with cold water, and the other with hot water are placed together with two metal plates protruding from the top. An electric motor is then placed on top and connected to each plate, the resulting energy which is created in turn makes the fan spin.

Friday 20th May was World Metrology Day, a day to commemorate 136 years since the signing of the metre convention. To celebrate, my place of work NPL asked scientists throughout the day to take photos of life at NPL to get a snapshot of a working science laboratory.
Some of my contributions to the day are below, you can see all the photos submitted throughout the day at NPL’s Flickr set.

A photo I took of Argento Diagnostic’s Dr Robert Porter has been published in the 11 April edition of The Engineer.
The photo shows Robert using a prototype of Argento’s point-of-care device in his lab and accompanies a two page article which examines the medical device and its uses and benefits.
