The MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences has celebrated the opening of its new state-of-the-art building at our Hammersmith Campus with a visit from The Princess Royal. The institute's new home houses 400 scientists working across themes including: genes and the environment; heart and metabolic disease; and sex-based differences in disease.The book likewise reflects a diversity of educational backgrounds: some of the engineers interviewed studied at university while others completed apprenticeships (or are still completing them – Somara also showcases engineers at different stages of their careers).

Engineers Making a Difference is another fascinating and inspiring reference book from What on Earth Books produced in collaboration with Imperial College London. Dr Shini Somara said: “Engineers are problem-solvers and I’m keen to highlight how much their ingenuity, creativity and logic impacts us all. Through brightly illustrated pages, readers discover how the engineers found their way into the industry, their inspirations and how their work makes a difference.Engineers Making a Difference gives young people a chance to meet real engineers working in hugely varied jobs and exciting careers. Shini Somara was awarded a Doctorate in Engineering in 2004 for her development of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), a digital simulation tool used by mechanical engineers to visualise how gases and liquids flow. Somara has fronted several innovation television series, including The Health Show on BBC World News, TechKnow on Al Jazeera, Tomorrow’s Food on BBC1 and Razor on CGTN Europe. The book’s profiles include individuals such as space physicist Professor Michele Dougherty from Imperial, co-founder and co-CEO of the sustainable packaging startup Notpla, Pierre Paslier, a technician working at CERN, Jamie Pinnel, and rollercoaster designer, Michelle Hicks. Authored by mechanical engineer, broadcaster and producer Dr Shini Somara, Engineers Making a Difference showcases 46 creative individuals from across the engineering world.

Thoroughly inspiring and informative, in a fun and stylish illustrated format: a must for every child.

In this book youll meet 46 engineers, from apprentices and lab technicians to university professors and start-up CEOs and hear what problems they are solving and why they love their jobs. Publication dates are subject to change (although this is an extremely uncommon occurrence overall). As someone who did not have the option of engineering apprenticeships when I was choosing next steps at school, I also appreciated Somara’s decision to include the nuclear apprentice and others like them.Hosting Crash Course Engineering - x45 episode YouTube series hosted by Shini, on the various aspects of engineering. Each interview is accompanied by a full or half-page photo, as well as relevant illustrations or diagrams and a fact file about each engineer; some also include QR codes which link to video interviews.
