    Vishal Chaudary 
    The Materials Today Agents of Change Award (2023)
    by Elsevier Foundation and Materials Today (Family of Journals), awarding ceremony in Sitges, Spain

    for his project: “The Happy Mental Health Club”

    In many social settings, mental health is still considered a taboo topic. For example, according to Dr Chaudhary, in the scientific community, researchers are often expected to maintain a stoic demeanour. To combat this, he started the Happy Mental Health Club in October 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown. The club showcases the diverse talents of materials science students and addresses mental health stigma through online sessions and international conferences. There is a particular emphasis on supporting underrepresented groups and breaking down social barriers to gender and LGBTQIA++ equality in research. The MTAOC award supports the running of the Happy Mental Health Club, along with awareness programs. (credit links)
