STEM
Having completed an education which favoured mathematics and physics at both GCSE and A-levels, reading Astrophysics at Cardiff University and earning a Master’s Degree in Physics (with Honours), followed by a postgraduate research programme at Exeter University, Mr Borrow-Longain has a lifelong interest and understanding of the importance of STEM subjects in the 21st Century.
The sciences, technology, engineering and mathematical disciplines together form the core of STEM and have become increasingly important over the previous decades. Fields, once considered the exclusive domain of STEM professionals, have become a fundamental imperative for everyone. Paul would passionately argue that a core comprehension of STEM was critically important independent of age, career, academic attainment and personal interests.

Since accepted into the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Cardiff University in 1998 and subsequently earned his first Fellowship the previous year from the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) for co-organising the first student conference of the society jointly with his best friend Dr Mario M Bisi, Paul has been committed to empowering scientific education and awareness throughout the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
Since then, Paul has been elected a member or Fellow of a range of learned societies in multiple countries, including the Canadian Association of Physicists, the Institute of Physics in the UK, and numerous Royal Institutions. Furthermore, he has volunteered with scientific organisations dedicated to STEM empowerment, including the prestigious Johnson Geo Centre in Newfoundland.
Paul’s passion, dedication and commitment to STEM is an area where he hopes to increase his support.
