PhD student successful in Images of Research competition

PhD student Marsaili McGrath, who is doing her PhD in Consumption, Markets and Cultures in the Department of Marketing, has had two images recognised in the annual Images of Research competition run by the University of Strathclyde. 

On May 13, the Principal Professor Sir Jim McDonald launched the Images of Research exhibition in the Learning & Teaching Building and named the winners. The entries to this year’s competition, on the theme of ‘From Research to Reality’, were exceptionally strong across all four categories and the winners’ photographs / posters were, he said, “outstanding”. 

Marsaili McGrath was the Winner in the Future Foundations Category for “Reusable Theatre Caps: A Step Towards Sustainability” (pictured) and Highly Commended in the AI Insights Category for “Motherhood: The Price of the Perfect Mumfluencer”. 

The exhibition is on display now in the 4th floor of the Learning and Teaching Building (until the end of May) after which it will be on display in Glasgow Central Station as part of the Glasgow Science Festival (June 5-15). 

The overall winner still has to be decided and you can vote now to have your say in this year’s People’s Choice Award.
