Award for Alison Woollard

11 February 2015

Many congratulations to Dr Alison Woollard, Hertford tutor in Biochemistry, who has been awarded the 2015 JBS Haldane Lecture by the Genetics Society.

The award recognises an individual for outstanding ability to communicate topical subjects in genetics research to general audiences, and builds on the great success of Alison’s televised Christmas Lectures on ‘Life Fantastic’ at the Royal Institution in 2013, and many other public engagement activities at sciences festivals, schools and other venues, both in the UK and abroad (including Hertford).

Alison will be delivering her JBS Haldane Lecture at the British Science Festival in Bradford in September: more details to follow.
