Comprehensives Correction: Candidate Nair!

I think when my last student passed her compehensive, I mistakenly claimed that I had no more PhD students… having somehow forgotten poor Gayatri. Last Friday, hot off the back of winning a poster award, she became the first MedSci PhD Candidate in the lab, and did so off the back of a truly impressive exam. While it’s definitely more challenging than the “on-topic” BBS candidacy, I think it’s a far better format for testing the core skills needed for a PhD - and Gayatri showed she has those in spades. Well done!
