SPENDING her summer holidays helping boffins in a laboratory has paid off for a dedicated student.
Instead of relaxing by the beach with friends, Emma Sharman chose to help Sunderland University scientists develop new techniques to treat diabetes.
Now the 17-year-old A-level student has been shortlisted for the UK?s Young Scientist of the Year award.
Emma will find out on Friday if she has been successful, at this year?s UK?s Young Scientists and Engineers Fair at London?s ExCeL exhibition and convention centre.
Her project is up against those of 250 other youngsters.
