The annual BMRC/MERI Winter Poster Event is now in its fifth year and was a very lively and enjoyable event, with lots of discussion apparent throughout.

It was great to see so many posters covering the breadth of MERI and the BMRC, including the posters from MSci/MChem students as well as those from the research students.

With so many excellent posters on show, it was difficult to pick out just three winners amongst the PhD students and one for the MSci/MChem students - those selected were

Doctoral students

1st Prize - Jodi Brookes (BMRC)

Investigation into bacterial proteases within used metal working fluids

2nd Prize - Alireza Janani (MERI)

3rd Prize - Jordan Roe (BMRC)

MSci/MChem students

1st Prize - Lucy Plant (BMRC)

Congratulations to Jodi, Alireza, Jordan and Lucy, but also well done to all other participants and the organisers.
