Bill Bryson and RSC President Professor David Phillips presented the winners of the 2010 RSC Bill Bryson Science Communication Prize with their prizes

The overall winners were Hannah Taylor, Thomas Earl, Lucy Upot and Charlotte Norris of Aberdour School, Surrey, for their animation entitled "Our Thirsty World", which was about issues around water supply and quality. Phoebe Devonshire, from West Hill Park School, won the prize in the Primary category for her writing about the chemistry of rocket propulsion and Emma Hopkins claimed the Secondary prize for her entry about HIV. Bryson said the entries had been of "unprecedented quality".
