July 2026 Fellows' update: Neil McIntyre
Neil McIntyre (CF 2014) has shared and presented his Churchill Fellowship research widely. His findings were featured in articles including the TESS, the Association for Science Education and the Royal Society of Chemistry. Additional funding from the Churchill Fellowship and Mercers' Company allowed him to take forward one of his main findings from his Fellowship in developing primary school science.
Neil maintains contact with teaching staff in Estonia and Finland and through these connections has visited other schools in Denmark, USA, and Poland in his own time to study science education in these countries and learn from good practice. This outward looking vision helps him stay up to date with current educational practice.
