From a postdoc: how could supervising a studentship benefit your professional development?
February 1, 2021
Each year, the Microbiology Society awards a number of grants that enable undergraduates to work on microbiological research projects during the summer vacation and provide early- and mid-career scientists the opportunity to gain supervision experience. Over the next few months, we’ll be posting a series of blogs from members who were awarded Harry Smith Vacation Studentships in 2020. This week is postdoctoral researcher Dr Angharad Green, University of Liverpool. Angharad recently supervised undergraduate student Thomas Barton during his summer project which determined gene expression changes in a pneumococcal gpsA deletion mutant, relative to the D39-wild type.
