 Hello, my name is Rania Shafiq, I'm an IOP associate member and the campus ambassador at UCL where I study the BSE physics course. Despite the unprecedented challenges of the last year, the IOP has continued its mission to promote research and careers in physics to polish the physicist's toolkit as we love to say. And so it becomes our responsibility to raise our voice, to cast our opinion, to cast our votes in the running of an institute that we regard so much, invest in so much and of course care about so deeply. I didn't get to vote last year unfortunately in the IOP's elections but I'm really excited to rectify that mistake this year because it means that together we can continue to raise our voice, our opinion for the running of an institute that can continue to hold and uphold many more positive and nurturing experiences for all of us. And I'd encourage you to do the same to get on board and cast your votes for the IOP's upcoming elections.
