Nothing Is impossible

"Dr Megan Wagstaff is a Research Fellow working in my group since she completed her PhD with me between 2018-2022. She has been instrumental in setting up and maintaining the lab, pioneering new techniques/approaches and supervising project students. Her contributions have been invaluable in publishing key scientific manuscripts for the group, and generating new pilot data to prime successful research bids. She is super organised and efficient, and has maintained these productivity levels even after becoming a busy young mother and working a compressed 4 day week to balance childcare responsibilities. In summary, no task is too large or insurmountable for Megan and I'm super grateful for the effort and hard work she commits to our laboratory!"
