Lizzie Radley
Finance Co-Lead
3rd year PhD, so the concept of being a “normal human” is now relative. I start hobbies I never finish, talk with my hands, and am slightly too fond of coffee, whiskey and late nights. And half of this is ripped straight from my tinder profile.
Imogen Ramsay

Alison Dunnett
Our Body
As a second-year undergrad, I’m a biochemist in the making! Slightly too excited spending my nights at home under a blanket with a book and a hot cuppa tea. What can I say, I’m an old lady at heart!
