I had to produce a 2-3 sentence biography for the IYWPC 2019 Conference. It was advised to: describe your current job title, the organization you work for/university you study at, the qualifications and experience you have. The following is what I produced, however I would have liked to have added an extra sentence about how the PhD is going, that I enjoy it and that I am thankful for the opportunities I have been given, just something to round it off.
Natalie Lamb's Biography
Natalie Lamb is a PhD student with The University of Sheffield and Anglian Water doing research into the chemicals used to treat drinking water. During her BSc Biology she was captivated by a dissertation project into the prevalence of Giardia spp. in local rivers and it very much motivated her to learn more about water microbiology. Anglian Water, a water utility who supply water and sewerage services to the East of the UK, sponsored Natalie to complete her MSc into Cryptosporidium spp. in vulnerable catchments and, after she had worked for a year as an Assistant Operational Scientist with them, further supported her to completed her PhD.
