These are my people. Team Sustainability forever! Wait…no, I mean lifelong friends, not lifelong students. Please. Part of the MSc Sustainability program is a core module called Research Training and Project Planning. For Dr. Mark Cutler and Dr. Ioan Fazey, we proposed and created a research proposal as practice for our dissertation. Our class split into […]
Hello again! Since my last post I have been pretty busy and there has been a lot going on. I had a great time at a 21st birthday party for a work friend and fellow Dundee Uni student and I also received an offer of acceptance onto the Postgrad Masters course I had applied for!! […]
