SMTL have welcomed a new member of the Biological Testing Team to SMTL - Jotika Ramnik Halai. Jotika was previously working in the Covid testing Lighthouse Laboratory in Newport before taking up her new position at SMTL.

 

Dr James Evans, one of SMTL's research officers, became a father for the first time in March. We are happy to report that Joseph (James' son)  and James' wife Beth are all well, and that James is back in work following a relaxing bout of patermity leave.

 

Finally, Elaine Morgan takes early retirement in July so she can spend more time with her growing brood of grandchildren. Fortunately for SMTL, Elaine is going to return part time in the role of office manager in a job share, and Jade Taylor will be acting up into the shared role during the transition.
