The Prime Minister, Tony Blair, said the new Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards would allow over 100 PhD students from India, China, Hong Kong, Russia and the developing world to study here. "This is a good example of industry and government working together to help improve U.K. competitiveness and quality of life around the world." The first intake of students in next October will provide fully funded scholarships for over 100 students. The students will also benefit from the recent visa changes that allow PhD students to work in the U.K. for 12 months after graduating. The awards have been named in honour of Dorothy Hodgkin's recognition of the work she did abroad and in helping overseas students studying in the U.K. Hodgkin, a crystallographer, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1964 for her work in determining the structure of important biochemical molecules.— UNI
