Researchers net £15k science awards to aid studies
TWO researchers at the University of Edinburgh have beaten 120 applicants from the UK and Ireland to win L'Oreal fellowships for Women in Science.
Dr Sarah Reece and Dr Ashleigh Griffin, both biologists, are among four overall winners and each receive 15,000 from the cosmetics company to support their ongoing research.
Dr Reece plans to use her prize money to further her research on malaria parasites. Dr Griffin will use her award to support research on microbial diseases.
