On May 4th, during the plenary session of the EMRS 2016 Spring Meeting (Lille, France), Kishan Thodkar was awarded with the first prize in the E-MRS Reach.Out! competition.
Reach.Out! is a science communication competition that aims to engage the members of the European Materials Science community who have designed, organised and implemented a public outreach activity in the EU. This outreach activity must be related to Advanced Materials and its main aim must have been to uncover, to the non-specialists, one or more of the following aspects of work within this field: its applications, its impact on the creation of sustainable societies, its impact on the economy, the people behind the scenes, the complexity of the work done, and of course, possible controversies etc.
