University of Reading organised an exciting event to give students the opportunity to celebrate their unsung heroines of science through the creation of a poster and a presentation - with the opportunity to listen to an inspiring guest lecturer.

Students representing SHC chose Ada E. Yonath as their unsung heroine - as Israeli crystallographer known for her pioneering work on the structure of the ribosome - and presented their fold-out poster alongside a 3D model of a ribosome, winning them the prize for the best poster.

Find out more about Ada E. Yonath and why our students chose her as their heroine.
