Feel so privileged to have got the chance to do research in Parliament on this POSTnote. Thanks @NuffieldFound for such an amazing opportunity. Was a definite highlight of my PhD!

The POSTnote I am currently researching on a 3 month @NuffieldFound fellowship at @POST_UK. A big change from space technologies but loving the experience so far!
Replying to @POST_UK
