- Erin Blair joined us this month as a PhD student. Erin will be working with Katie Gillies, and will be based on the 2nd floor. Welcome to ACE, Erin – it’s lovely to have you with us!
- Chantal den Daas joined us this month. Many of you will already know Chantal, as she has been a key member of the Institute for a number of years. Chantal is a Health Psychologist with a wealth of experience in both research and teaching. She will be retaining her office in the Polwarth Building but will be otherwise joining in on ACE activities, including research collaborations. Welcome to ACE, Chantal – we’re sure you’ll be very happy here!
- Louisa Lawrie, who many of you will know from her previous spell with us, will be spending some time in ACE again. Louisa will be based in the education and scholarship team (PERG), but will be affiliated to us for her research. Welcome back, Louisa – it’s great to welcome you back!
- Sadly, Kristin Konnyu leaves us at the end of this month to take up a post with Manchester University. Although we’re very sad to be losing you, Kristin, we know you will be a huge success at Manchester, and we hope you will stay in touch!
