Nuffield Foundation Placements with Feisal Subhan
Every year the Nuffield Foundation organises STEM placements for over 1,100 post-16 students across the UK. They spend
several weeks in various university laboratories, industry, research institutes
and also small & medium-sized enterprises. In summer 2017, I had two
placement students, Eleanor Richards and Georgina Sewart.
Eleanor worked on new diagnostic criteria for Sniff nasal inspiratory
pressures, while Georgina analysed heart rate variability and autonomic
function in triathletes. Both worked tremendously hard during their vacation
time. Our regional Nuffield coordinators kindly invited us to a celebration
event on 1 November at Exeter, where we were given certificates and all
students in Devon & Cornwall presented posters on their work.
