Sadly, we have recently said farewell to Sharon Wren and to Bev Smith. Sharon worked with us as a Data Coordinator since 2016 and left us in July and we wish her all the best! Bev Smith, was a Unit Administration Assistant with the Unit since 2014 left us in August. Bev will be very much missed as the friendly face of the Unit and the first point of contact for many of us. We have no doubt she will be very successful in her new role.

- Frank You, who is currently working with Katie Gillies as a temporary member of staff. From October, Frank will join us as a PhD student He is currently based on the third floor.
