Nuffield Research Placement

I am interested in applying for the Nuffield Research placement and am curious as to what is involved while there. I know that you work alongside a professional scientist, but what do you do for the weeks you are there? Another question is where abouts does the placement take place I live in Norfolk? Thanks

You conduct research alongside a proffesional scientist. You'll be working on an independant defined project for 4-6 weeks which will contribute to the work of the organisation you're placed at. Coordinators will try to place you in a university, research institute or company close to where you live. I suspect your local coordinator is
