One of the nicest, most incredible people in the Manchester PhD environment has got some recognition for the role that he played in making it a brilliant place to study and work. Congratulations Kenn!
Not big on being like "woo look at how boss I am" but I suppose this is meant to be shared. I got a lovely write-up from those that nominated me for the Doctoral College Excellence Award I ended up winning.

To everyone in my comments, going out of their way to say a graphic of my achievements is disrespectful to mens players.
Not a single person is comparing our careers, except you.
We are one nation, playing one sport.
Celebrating Cymru success together.
