Reading Roars!

Super Reading Uni student Vanessa Clark has won the Cadbury Schweppes Award for the Best Food, Nutrition and Health Student at the 2005 Science Engineering & Technology (SET) Student of the Year Awards (like the chocolate, that’s a bit of a mouthful!).

Vanessa, who is now studying for a PhD at the University’s School of Food Biosciences, won the prize for her final year project on a

comparison of modification of protein by sugars and sugar degradation products under in vitro physiological conditions and temperatures more relevant to food processing

Uh?

Commenting on the prize, Vanessa said:

I’m thrilled to have won this award. It is fantastic to have my work recognised at a national level. It represents not only a personal achievement, but is a real tribute to the excellent teaching I’ve been privileged to receive during my four years at the School of Food Biosciences at the University of Reading.

Well done, Vanessa.
