Taha Hussain - Summer STEM Virtual Work Placement Student - Weekly Reports


In April SATRO took the unprecedented (and sad) decision to suspend the Research Programme for this year due to COVID-19. We asked all our providers for a 'day in the life of' summaries to give the students a flavour of the many types of roles that are available in the professional environments. 

Following SATRO's hard work to develop an online policy. In May, we reached out to our wonderful providers to propose a virtual solution and to get around any social distancing rules. The response was amazing. We asked for suitable titles that the students could research over the summer and devise a short essay and either a PP or a poster with their findings. 

All students have been asked to provide a weekly update on their experience - please see below to see what Taha has been up to so far! 

 Week One 

"It has been a great experience so far. I have decided to do my research on Silica beads for TL dosimeters over the photon dose range commonly applied in radiotherapy. I have researched into this before so finding research articles was not an issue. My dream job is radiography and so This question that I am doing now is solely influenced by my dream occupation."
