Global Public Health MSc students see their work published

Two Global Public Health MSc students have seen their work published online on public-facing websites. 

Carmen Holmberg has been published in The Biomedical Scientist, a publication from The Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS), the leading professional body for scientists, support staff and students in the field of biomedical science. Her article was on sustainable pathology - what does the term “climate change” mean to biomedical scientists and their work and what's the impact of pollution from the NHS? 

Carmen is a Specialist Biomedical Scientist in Biochemistry at Portsmouth Hospitals Trust. We recently spoke to her about her experience on the Global Public Health MSc - you can read that interview here. 

As part of the assessment for the Planetary Health module, Ilse Van Roy has been published in SWI (swissinfo.ch), the international unit of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation, which provides independent reporting on Switzerland. In her article, Ilse analysed how far we are pushing the boundaries of the planet's resources – and Switzerland's contribution to it.

Following a long career in the pharmaceutical industry, Ilse Van Roy recently joined the nonprofit sector as Head of the International Programme Team at SolidarMed, a Swiss organisation for health in Africa.
