Rachel was awarded the Mcbain medal from the RSC/SCI Joint Colloid group at a dedicated symposium held in London on 9th December. The McBain Medal is presented annually to an early career researcher (within 15 years of the award of a PhD) for outstanding achievement in colloid and interface science. The symposium featured a series of fascinating talks and posters based around the theme of Stimuli-Responsive Soft Matter and Interfaces.

Congratulations also to 3rd year PhD student Bea Jones who picked up the runner-up prize for her poster presentation!
