Congratulations!
Congratulations to both Eve Tarring and Imogen Poyntz-Wright, who have both successful passed their PhD's.
Eve's PhD was around assessing the risks to freshwater ecosystems from water-soluble polymers (WSPs) and Imogen assessed responses to chemical exposure in invertebrate and fish populations and biodiversity across diverse UK aquatic environments
