It’s November and we have two new winners of the Sparrho Early Career Researcher Prize!
This month, we have two young scientists who are separated by 15,000 km and 9.5 hours, but united by their exciting research and passion for science communications. Congratulations to our November Early Career Researcher Prize winners, Eva and Brenton, who are receiving £500 towards attending a conference of their choice!
Eva Garmendia is a PhD student at Uppsala University, Sweden, specialising in the study and characteristics of bacteria.
“My research gives us the foundational knowledge of how things work and answers the “why” questions about the world that surrounds us.”
Eva will speak at Analytical Genetics in San Diego, USA in January 2018. Find Eva on Twitter: @evagaresp
