A short article she wrote on research conducted at 果冻影院 ISH as part of the Nanorestart project for the May 鈥淔ocus on Nanotechnology鈥 supplement of Physics World was picked up by Rob Thompson, a nanotechnologist and reporter for BBC Science Radio. This led to Carolien and Dr Katherine Curran being approached for an interview to discuss their research on BBC Radio.

Exciting times ahead and I am very much looking forward to possible SEAHA collaborations with artists in the near future 鈥 so watch this space!鈥.
