SBS students also win big at the combined NZMS/NZSBMB meeting!
Last week, the combined meeting of the NZ Microbiology Society and Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology was held here in Wellington. Once again, SBS students continued the school’s excellent record of mopping up the prize pool!
Last week, the combined meeting of the NZ Microbiology Society and Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology was held here in Wellington. Once again, SBS students continued the school’s excellent record of mopping up the prize pool! Congratulations to PhD students Becky Edgar and Jasmine Chan-Hyams, who picked up first and second prizes respectively in the NZSBMB poster competition (Jasmine’s effort particularly impressive given that she is just over six months into her PhD); and to Katherine Robins, who snared second prize in the NZMS poster competition. At the same meeting, A/Prof Dave Ackerley was awarded the NZSBMB Custom Science Award for Research Excellence, the top honour of the NZ Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology.
