Abstract
Elizabeth Johnson, a veterinary medicine and science undergraduate student at the University of Surrey, has been named runner-up in the undergraduate category of the 2026 Royal College of Pathologists' Science Communication Prize. It was the first time judges awarded a runner-up prize in the undergraduate category, after they said that Elizabeth's entry ‘particularly stood out’. Credit: Steve Cross Elizabeth said she felt ‘immensely honoured’, adding: ‘Weaving veterinary science into stand-up comedy has enabled me to meet some tremendous audiences and perform at fabulous events.’ The prize recognises UK undergraduates, foundation doctors and trainees who have carried out sustained, high-quality science communication activities and public engagement.
