Young Leader wins at Young Achiever Awards
We are delighted that School of Biological Sciences PhD graduate, Nicole Foster, was awarded the University of Adelaide STEM Award in this year's South Australian 7 News Young Achiever Awards.
Following her graduation from University in 2016 with a Bachelor of Sciences (Advanced), Nicole then went on to complete her PhD in Environmental Sciences in 2021.
Nicole's PhD research involved developing a molecular approach to analyse environmental DNA buried in the sediment record, uncovering historical changes that have occurred within coastal plant communities in South Australia. This work informs the adaptability and resilience of these important habitats to climate change.
Nicole was also a participant in the 2020 Early Career Leadership Development program run by the Environment Institute.
