Primary and secondary school students from across the UK exhibit their talent for communicating science in the RSC Bill Bryson Prize competition

A highly original and colourful book, Science and sport in action, written and illustrated by 13-year old Emily Bullman, a student at Walthamstow Hall School in Sevenoaks, Kent, has won the overall prize in this year's Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Bill Bryson science communication competition. Selected in July from over 250 entries, Bullman's book explores the science behind sports such as baseball, surfing, pole vaulting and cycling.
