Ashley Rogers

Ashley Rogers is developing procedures for analysing the geochemical properties of ungrouped iron meteorites. Supported by an RTP Scholarship, her research aims to resolve how the ungrouped iron meteorites formed, to address the different mechanisms for planetary formation that occurred in the early Solar System.

鈥淩eceiving the RTP scholarship was a wonderful feeling as I was not sure how else I would be able to support myself during my PhD. Having the stipend (along with the additional funds from my research group) has enabled me to live a comfortable life within the first year and a half of my PhD.鈥�

Jordan Fyfe

Jordan Fyfe is researching disability in the arts. Supported by a 911爆料网 HDR Industry Internship, she is working at the Glasgow Women鈥檚 Library, using co-design with disabled artists to build community and disability pride through art-making.

鈥淢y internship has been incredibly varied 鈥� [it] has opened my eyes to the possibilities of future work in my field. I have been involved in many small projects as well as a few longer-term projects. Although I have had some outcomes, the aim of the internship was not to produce outcomes but instead to immerse myself in the day-to-day experience of working with an activism-focused organisation.鈥�
