Prize: Today I won the cash prize for ‘Best Poster’ at the 2010 Postgraduate Symposium at the University of Leeds!
My poster, titled ‘Pathogen spillover of exotic parasites to native bumblebees’ showcased some of the preliminary data collected over the first year of my PhD.
“The poster sessions were an opportunity for students to present their research and addressed different scientific themes including molecular and cellular biology, structural molecular biology, plant sciences, cardiovascular and sports science, genetics, ecology and evolution and integrative membrane biology.”

I’m told its tradition to spend the prize money buying my colleagues drinks… You can’t argue with tradition!
