    FURNESS PRIZE FOR SCIENCE COMMUNICATION WINNER 2020

    Dr Matthew Clarke submitted a nomination for the Furness Prize at the suggestion and with the support of Dr Ali Robb (Consultant Microbiologist, Newcastle upon Tyne) who he had worked with for several years as part of the ‘Path to Success’ event and on other projects. On winning this year's prize, Matt said:

    "It is a wonderful feeling to have won this year’s prize! I have been nominated on several other occasions years ago and was not successful so it is a very nice feeling and surprise! Thank you very much to the judges! Also, a huge thank you to the many friends, colleagues and teams I have worked with to enable my various projects to proceed – it could not have been done without all their input and hard work. Winning this prize will encourage me to continue pursuing my science communication projects with the general public, undergraduates and junior doctors. Having been forced to enter the virtual arena of event delivery due to COVID-19, I look forward to exploring and developing this format for other events in the future, helping to extend a wider reach to people who may be interested in knowing more about pathology and research, or who may be considering a career in the specialty."

    Here are some of Matt's public engagement activities:

    • A co-organiser of the RCPath/BDIAP Foundation & Undergraduate Taster Event for the past 2 years
    • A founding organiser of the ‘Path to Success’ event in Newcastle since 2016
    • one of four trainees (2 from the UK and 2 from the US) who authored the ‘Future of Pathology’ report and created blogs and tweets to promote the report
    • A speaker for a Liverpool Medical Student Research Committee event
    • Marked science projects written by college students from underprivileged backgrounds
    • Interviewed Professor Sir James Underwood for the College’s video on ‘Histopathology: past, present and future’
    • Facilitated the production of videos for Patient Safety Awareness Week
    • Chaired the College’s virtual seminar series delivered by Professor Jo Martin called ‘The Art and Science of Practical Management’
    • Published many articles in the ACP News and the College’s magazine, The Bulletin.
