Jessica Gomez-Banderas provided an essay on “Using the chemical defences of sea creatures to stop biofouling of immersed structures” and was selected as a winner for the SCI Group Essay competition. As part of her prize her article was published on their website.
At the end of 2020 I was chosen as one of the winners of the SCI Scotland Group Essay competition which brought a lot of positivity and motivation moving forwards into 2021 after a very tough year. As part of the competition, I wrote an article explaining the important ties that my PhD project has with industry and I was extremely excited to see my article published in January's issue of the C&I magazine. It's really great to have this opportunity to communicate my work in this way and I hope that more opportunities like this arise in the future!
