Libby and Dame Mary

Last night, Wednesday, February 20, Libby Heaney, a 24 year old female physics graduate of Imperial College, London, from Tamworth, Staffordshire picked up a £1,000 prize at the Institute of Physics (IOP) in London for the significant contribution she has already made to physics at a very early stage in her career.

Rewarded for both her academic work and the efforts she has made to inspire others into physics, Libby has devoted time by going in to local schools. She has worked particularly closely with students from New College and Kings School in Pontefract and given students the opportunity to get to know a theoretical physicist who works at the top of her field.
