Afternoon all –
This is just a brief message to wish the whole Wolfson team and our colleagues a very
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and to extend a huge thank you to all of you for
your hard work this year. As 2023 draws to a close, it’s fantastic to be able to reflect
upon so many successes and brilliant achievements across the centre. It’s been an
exceptionally busy year with so much for us to be proud of – including awards of
prestigious fellowships and competitive funding, delivery of 24 Public Involvement events,
4 public lectures and 2 clinical spotlight talks, another successful Summer School with
attendees from over 23 different countries, and the publication of over 70 new papers and
articles.
Members of our Scientific Advisory Board recently commended us on our work to date,
stating that the centre has exceeded their expectations. They highlighted the productivity
of researchers in the Centre, the extent of cross-disciplinary integration across
workstreams, our new international collaborations, and most importantly, recognised that
we are conducting ‘science that makes a difference’. This is in no small part thanks to
the incredibly talented team of dedicated staff we feel very lucky to have within
Wolfson.
A huge thanks for all your efforts this year – we’re looking forward to an even more
successful 2024!
Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas break.
Best wishes,
Fran, Stephan, & Laura
