It’s Been a While

Losing Track

Yesterday saw the National Physical Laboratory‘s (NPL) annual Water Rocket Challenge take place in Teddington, which saw school teams during the day, and adult teams in the evening, fill the skies with high pressure water rockets. Below are a selection of photos which I took throughout the day.

You can view more at NPL’s Flickr set.

A photo which I took while working at my day job at NPL, for their spin off company Argento Diagnostics the other week, has been published in the Financial Times, alongside a story about Argento in the Digital Business supplement.

See a scan of the story below from the paper, or you can read the story online.

I’m pleased to announce that some of my photos have been selected to be added to the Getty Images collection and are now avaliable to purchase through them, for use in publications, editorial purposes and on websites etc.

The past couple of weeks have seen me spending my Wednesday evenings working late at NPL recording and photographing their latest ‘Protons for Breakfast’ course which lasts six weeks and aims to to teach people of all ages how science impacts us on our daily lives.

Through a mixture of lectures, live demonstrations and hands-on activities the students get taught and shown wide ranging areas of science; from the fundamentals of electricity and light in weeks one and two, to debates on climate change and health issues with mobile phone use.

For more information, you can check out the Protons for Breakfast section on the NPL site, or read the official Protons for Breakfast blog.
