Grace has received a First Class (H1) grade for her Honours year!  Grace is the Neumann lab's first Honours student.

This is a wonderful achievement by Grace, and one that is extremely important for the next phase of her career.  This is also thoroughly deserved after Grace's excellent performance over the year and especially given the immense volume of data that she managed to generate in the lab.

​Well done Grace!!

Valerie has been successful in her application for the highly competitive Mitacs Globalink Research Internship.  Through this program Valerie will join ​Tim O'Connor's lab at The University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada) for a 3 month research project mid next year.

Congratulations Valerie!
