New Student Council members
29/Jan/2009
Gail Elliott:
Currently
I am studying for a BSc in Forensic Anthropology in the Centre for Anatomy
& Human Identification, University of Dundee. I am particularly interested in
histology in a comparative osteological context, and intend to develop this
interest at Masters and Doctoral level. Joining Council has given me the
opportunity to meet practitioners with different research interests, and is
also an excellent opportunity to learn about novel research currently taking
place in the field of human identification, both nationally and
internationally. In return, I greatly appreciate the opportunity to take
an active role in the future direction of BAHID, through representation of the
student membership.
Rachel Berry:
My name
is Rachel Berry and I have been elected as a student representative on the
BAHID Council. I hold a BSc (Hons) in forensic anthropology, and have recently
completed an MSc in human identification at the Centre for Anatomy and Human
Identification, University of Dundee. Since
completing my MSc, I have been demonstrating anatomy to dental, medical, and
science students, and comparative osteology to forensic anthropology
undergraduates. I hope to begin my PhD in the near future, which will focus on
the techniques used to study stable isotopes in drugs and human provenancing. My
main aims as student representative for BAHID are to provide students with
information about relevant courses and training within the field of human
identification, possible work experience and job opportunities, and about
funding bodies, specialist forensic science competitions, and research grants.
