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!

On #youth and #publicempowerment day at #COP26 we would like to highlight the work of the next generation of Scotland's water researchers on the Hydro Nation Scholars Programme programme in this virtual poster exhibition! virtualtours.hutton.ac.uk/cop26hnscholarβ¦
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
Absolutely loved seeing everyone from Hydro Nation Scholars Programme for the first time in two years for the welcome event yesterday and trip to Glencorse and Bo'ness water treatment sites today, it's been the best couple of days!
Thank you RSC Photophysics & Photochemistry Group!! π If you're interested to learn more about my research using #photocatalysis for #WaterTreatment, you can see my video here π§ͺπβοΈ youtu.be/HilB7Qtc3Fs
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
Fantastic visit to #flowcountry with the Hydro Nation Scholars Programme where we learned about the importance of #peatland restoration for biodiversity and climate mitigation
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!
Teaching has been a massive part of my PhD journey, so I'm very excited to have successfully completed the Edinburgh Teaching Award at level 2, making me a fellow of the higher education academy! Four years of hard work worth it π§ͺπ₯½π Chemistry Edinburgh Advance HE iad4learnteach
