Thank you Neil! I'm very excited to have won this prize after lots of hard work! It was a pleasure to attend the conference ran by Royal Society of Chemistry and hear about the exciting research taking place to move towards the #SDGs. You can see my poster here!

We're all being urged to curb our flights due to the #carbonfootprint of the #aviation industry but did you know that the #water industry has the same #carbon emissions! We all need to be #waterstewards. Start by switching off the tap whilst you wash your teeth! NHS Scotland Sustainability Action

For those thinking of a Chemistry PhD, remember it can lead to much more than just an academic career. The last 6 PhD students to land jobs from our group have all gone on to excellent industry positions: Sunamp Ltd x2, Saule Technologies x2, @IntelligentGS, @MitsubishiChemi

A week well spent exploring northern Scotland with Hydro Nation Scholars Programme learning all about #water, from peatland restoration to flood prevention, waste water treatment, hydro power, and lots of enjoying nature! An amazing last event for me as I come to the end my PhD, so grateful!
