      Hmm good question! I’m still working on improving the materials I make for my PhD, so I don’t know if I could say those just yet.

      As a PhD student, you sometimes get to make posters as part of going to conferences or explaining your work to other scientists. I was really proud of a poster I made last year and I was lucky enough to win an award for it, so I would say that’s the best thing I’ve made!

      In the laboratory, I have been able to produce a concentrated protein that could be used for animal food. This was a really successful experiment that could be really useful.
      I also have been able produce some really cool posters to take with me to events where I present my work, and was recently invited to the Houses of Parliament to present one of them.
