Human Practice Support

  • Laurence Baker (Scottish Agricultural College): Member of a research team involved in a range of poultry research projects, helped us to evaluate the usefulness of a Campylobacter biosensor in terms of applications and timing.
  • Dr Jane Calvert (University of Edinburgh): Showed great interest in the project and directed us towards further academic collaboration.
  • Dr Paul Ellwood (University of Liverpool, STIR protocol associate): Helped us to incorporate ideas from the STIR protocol into our project, by explaining the structure and narrative of his engagement with the STIR conversations.
  • Dr Chris French (University of Edinburgh, Arsenic Biosensor Collaboration): Helped us greatly to understand the challenged posed by EU legislation on our project, which have previously been faced by the Arsenic Biosensor Collaboration.
  • Dr Becky Hothersall (University of Glasgow, Public Engagement Officer): Provided us with great support in terms of public engagement activities and opportunities.
  • Dr Melanie Jimenez (University of Glasgow, Biomedical Engineering): Helped us incredibly with the design of our public engagement activities and provided great support for the engineered design of our biosensor.
  • Dr Deborah Scott (University of Edinburgh): Helped us with some brilliant advice on our human resources. Dr Scott is specialised in the governance of synthetic biology with a background in law.
  • Emily Larson and Maria Papanatsiou (University of Glasgow): Podcast for the Institute of Molecular, Cell, and Systems Biology.
  • Lewis Thomson (University of Glasgow, Information and Media Officer): Helped us incredibly with our publications on the Campus and School of Life Sciences newsletter.
  • Dr Scott Ramsay (University of Glasgow, Effective learning advisor): Helped us greatly with public engagement opportunities and the Talk about [X] project.
  • Jamie Gallagher (University of Glasgow, Public Engagement officer): Helped us finalise our public engagement activities and supported us throughout our application for Explorathon.
  • Tim Chandler; Adam Hardgrave; Dr Kevin Hargin; Abrar Jaffer (Foodborne Disease Control policy area): Acting on Campylobacter Together Campaign from Food Standards Agency.
  • Glasgow Science Centre: Thank you for inviting us to participate at the Meet the Expert event.
  • Riverside Museum: Thank you for hosting us at the Explorathon Extravaganza event.
