I am so incredibly lucky to have known Liz for 24 years. I will miss her, her quick wittedness and her strength - all of her brilliant attributes were infectious. She was such an inspiration to me. www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/2485728...

Brilliant CASE studentship opportunity, with some of my fantastic colleagues, available at the University of Manchester. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
