I'm absolutely thrilled to share this news!
Although I couldn't be there in person, I'm deeply grateful for this recognition.
Thanks to @Assist_UK and the prize committee as well as my fantastic supervisors @nikivermeulen, @TVGsociologist and Alfredo Yegros for their support.

Huge congratulations to 🌟@RLiscovsky for receiving the @Assist_UK Andrew Webster Prize. Rodrigo’s thesis on internationalisation dynamics in Latin America is part of the collaboration between @UoE_STIS & @cwtsleiden and there were also some zebrafish involved 🐠🐠🐠

Okay UK EngBio / SynBio researchers, you've all had a few hours off now since submitting your stressful 'Mission' proposals, so now it's time to reflect/vent on how good/bad the UK's national approach to this subject is. (ps. you'll need 30 mins for this)
