The golden pipette
Inspired by Prof. Adrian Liston's tradition, we award the golden pipette at our lab away days to member(s) of the lab that have made a significant contribution to the lab, spanning from implementing and optimising a protocol/technique, to improving our working conditions or our research culture. This award recognises the importance of inclusivity, teamwork, and curiosity, which are our core values. Below is a list of the lab's golden pipette awardees - we are very proud and thankful!
