June 2026 — Green Research Tour of Europe

I have been awarded a travel grant specifically to undertake a low-carbon European research tour (train-only!!), visiting groups with whom I share research interests at a moment that matters; I am finishing my PhD and actively looking to build collaborations. I will be documenting the trip as an open resource for early-career researchers wanting to do something similar and argue to faculties that such travels should be more common and supported at least for the sake of sustainability.
