Sources, effects, solutions – alerting the world to microplastics
It was fantastic just to be shortlisted for the Green Gowns research impact award, and amazing that our microplastics research was outright winner.
Professor Richard Thompson OBE FRS
Head of the International Marine Litter Research Unit
This was an impressive and very well documented real-world example of research with impact. This significant and world leading research on microplastics has implications and solutions for human life and health, together with great influence in policy and creating awareness.
Championing climate awareness through school workshops
I am absolutely delighted, and more than a little surprised, to have won the Green Gown Sustainability Champion – Student award.
An insightful project that has significant potential to shape the future by sparking curiosity and creativity in children. The work carried out by Hayley is based on clear and purposeful research into clear communication and active engagement. Overall, the project is a fascinating demonstration of wider societal benefit and reach.
