Anneliese Hodge, a PhD researcher at the University of Plymouth and Plymouth Marine Laboratory, has won the Gold Award in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences category at the prestigious STEM for Britain competition.
Held at the House of Commons, the event showcased the cutting-edge research of early-career scientists, engineers, and mathematicians from across the UK.
Anneliese's winning entry centred around her work on the ecotoxicological effects of two contrasting UV filters derived from sunscreens - oxybenzone and nano-titanium dioxide - on the temperate marine microalgae species Isochrysis galbana, an abundant species in UK waters and a food source for marine bivalves.
Her work stood out among the finalists, earning her the GJ Mendel Award for Excellence in Science medal, certificates, and a £1,500 prize.
