And It’s all over! We’ve had such a brilliant, intense two weeks of live chats and entertaining questions and engaged minds, that it seems sad to say goodbye. But we have our winning scientists, the summer holidays and lots more events on the horizon to look forward to!

The eight winning scientists have made it through four nail biting rounds of evictions. Each student vote counted and in some zones the evictions came down to almost single votes!

It’s time to reveal the winner in each zone. Congratulations to:

Zone	Winner	Where they work
Yttrium Zone	Allan Pang	Queen Mary University of London
Zirconium Zone	Carol White	University of Leeds
Niobium Zone	Michael Cook	Imperial College London
Earth Zone	Nuala Carson	SynthSys, University of Liverpool
Laser Zone	Tom Lister	Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust
Molybdenum Zone	Ash Cadby	University of Sheffield
Organs Zone	Bob Bonwick	Cheltenham General Hospital
Pathology Zone	Samantha Weaver	University Hospital of Wales

The winning scientists all receive £500 to spend on science communication, and we can’t wait to see their wonderful ideas put into practice!

Thank you to all the scientists who have taken part. You’ve been great contenders; each and every one of you has contributed to making this event a success.

We’d also like to thank teachers for your enthusiasm and involvement. And students for your questions and live chats, which have been a mixture of challenging, funny, thought-provoking and sometimes quite bizarre. We hope you’ve enjoyed taking part! Teachers and students, please remember to fill in our feedback surveys, so we can make future I’m a Scientist events even better!
Scientists and schools can sign up now for future events!

Not forgetting the Institute of Physics for sponsoring not one, but two zones (Laser and Earth), and the Royal College of Pathologists for sponsoring the Pathology zone!

And finally, a BIG thank you to our funders, the Wellcome Trust. Wellcome support the brightest minds in biomedical research and the medical humanities, and are dedicated to achieving extraordinary improvements in human and animal health.
