 ****      New Trustee and Trust Secretary    ****

The CB Dennis Trust is delighted to announce that Dr Peter Weller has been appointed as a new Trustee and the new Trust Secretary.  Peter will replace Brenda Ball who is having to step down as Secretary after serving in that role since the Trust was formed in 1990.  

CASE Parterships

The Trust would be very happy to act as a CASE partner for UK UKRI-DTP studentships, assuming that the research area is of interest to our Board. If you are a UK academic in a DTP, please contact us directly if you want to explore this opportunity. 

Jointly funded PhD Studentship

Following our recent advertisement for a PhD studentship to be jointly funded with Bee Diseases Insurance Limited and the British Beekeepers Association we are pleased to announce that Dr Richard Gill of Imperial College London was the successful candidate.  The studentship will run for 3 years and start in the autumn under the title, 'Do pesticide exposed honey bees feel the heat?'.  This will look at whether the severity of pesticide impact on UK honey bees will increase under climate change.

We wish the project well and if you would like to join us in the vital task of supporting research and the researchers of tomorrow please consider donating via our Support Us page.  Thank you.
