Hello! I'm Lizzie, a graduate of Biological Sciences at Durham University and current Laidlaw Scholars Advisory Board Member.

I was extremely involved in sports during school and my degree, which inspired my research project on hustle culture within university sports. I conducted interviews with current student athletes studying and competing at top UK universities to explore the prevalence of hustle culture within university sports and its impact on student athletes' health and wellbeing. 

I spent my LiA at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus creating an Impact Report with Cambridge Global Health Partnerships, a linked charity to Addenbrooke's Hospital. CGHP provides ethical, effective, and sustainable partnerships between the East of England and low- and middle-income countries. My task was to showcase the incredible impact of these partnerships on strengthening health systems globally.

My Laidlaw scholarship has been a great experience so far and has provided me many opportunities. As the Advisory Board is designed to improve scholars experiences during your time with the Laidlaw scholarship, feel free to reach out to me with any questions or feedback or fill out this form:
