Congratualtions to Jamie Purkis, a PhD student in the Love/Arnold group, who won first prize at the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority PhD Seminar, held in Manchester in January.
Jamie won for his talk entitled "Polyoxo Actinide Chemistry". The research is funded by the National Nuclear Laboratory as part of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority's PhD bursary scheme and Jamie would like to thank them for their involvement.
Well done Jamie!
Congratulations to Alex Elmi from Dr Scott Cockroft's group on winning the Nature Chemistry poster prize at the RSC Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (MASC) Early Career Researchers' meeting.
The meeting was held today at the University of Southampton. Alex's poster presentation was on solvent effects in aromatic stacking interactions.
The 2017 Postgraduate course in liquid-state NMR spectroscopy was attended by 90 participants. In the true spirit of SNUG (https://www.snug.ac.uk/ ), and encouraged by ScotCHEM's (https://www.scotchem.ac.uk/) bursaries, more than 30 postgraduates came from all Scottish universities.
Jenn Ross, an EastBIO PhD student in the Clarke Group won the poster prize at the recent Scottish Microscopy Group Symposium for her work characterising bacterial encapsulins by electron microscopy and mass spectrometry.
Well done Jenn!
Congratulations to three researchers from the Lloyd-Jones group for their recent successes at scientific meetings.
Katie Ember, a 3rd year PhD student in the Optical Medical Imaging CDT and part of Dr Colin Campbell’s group, has won the "Better Science through Better Data" writing competition, run by Nature.
A paper authored by Sara Schmidt, Jin Geng, Dr Annamaria Lilienkampf and Prof. Mark Bradley has won the best poster paper award for the Biomaterials International 2017 conference. The award was given on the 23rd of August, at the end of a conference that involved over 300 people.
Jamie Docherty, from Dr Stephen Thomas's group, has just returned from the ISySyCat 2017 meeting in Evora, Portugal, with the Flash Talk Award, sponsored by Chemistry Select.
Congratulations to Jessica Walker, from the Nudelman Group, who won 2nd prize in the Freeze-Frames Competition at the UK Cryo-Microscopy Group meeting last week.
The Freeze Frames competition is held annually at the Cryo Microscopy Group meeting as an antidote to the usual poster competition. It allows postgraduate students and post-docs to present a short summary of their work to the whole conference.
Congratulations to Dr James Cooper, from Dr Scott Cockroft's group and PhD student Bec Spicer from Dr Paul Lusby's group who both won poster prizes at the 2016 RSC Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry conference.
