Charlie Jobling Research Assistant I have recently graduated from Teesside University with a degree in Biological Sciences BSc (Hons). Following this I was successful in joining the Student Summer Placement Scheme which allowed me to further explore the topic of plastic and plastic additive pollution within different ecosystems. After finishing the placement, my application for the Autumn Internship was selected, enabling me to further study the effects of plastic additives this October. I aspire to become a researcher and conservationist, focusing on plastic pollution, and marine and ocean conservation to enable me to pursue a career as a researcher and scientific writer within this field. |

Laura Waistell Research Assistant While studying for my degree in Environmental science BSc (Hons) with Teesside university I took the first steps in my career as a researcher through the ‘Students As Researchers’ scheme in both my first and second years. Following this I was successful in gaining a summer placement researching global change factors impacting pollen production in the form of a literature review. Now, having completed my studies, I have moved on to a Graduate internship role in which I am continuing such pollen research with hydroponic systems. Within this employment I will also be continuing my dissertation research into the reintroduction of Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) into England as a keystone species. My goal is to continue my career in research, focusing on ecology, global change impacts and the ecosystem services natural systems can provide. |
