Undergraduate student of Geography, University of Cambridge

Hi, I'm Mila. I'm an undergraduate geography student at the university of Cambridge. I'm mostly interested in physical geography particularly in hazard risk and the ways that multi-hazards intersect with vulnerability and the ways that this will be impacted by climate change in the future. My summer research project, is focused on the ways Ukrainians, both in Ukraine and in the UK experience and process the ongoing ecocide in Ukraine.

Undergraduate Student , University of Cambridge

I am a Biological Anthropology undergraduate at Newnham College, University of Cambridge. I am interested in human behaviour, especially cooperation and how it has evolved.  Summer 2025 I worked on a project titled 'The Cooperation Puzzle: What drives people to cooperate?' with my project partner Shrey Patel. We completed a meta-analysis on behaviours observed during Public Goods Games, providing an answer to this broad question by intersecting anthropology and economics.  Summer 2026, I completed my LIA at Refugee Legal in Melbourne, Australia, where I volunteered as a paralegal assisting refugees trying to relocate.  Feel free to get in touch!

I am a second year politics and international relations student at Downing College, Cambridge. I enjoy understanding how things work, why they work that way, and how we can make them work more effectively, and do so by using the interdisciplinary academic approach I developed during my first year of university and by emphasising the value of people's experiences for understanding.

Hi, everyone! I'm a second-year student at MIT majoring in bioengineering and women/gender studies. I am a pre-med student, passionate about women's healthcare and accessibility. I am currently doing a research project on related to early endometriosis lesion formation at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, UK.  Outside of the lab, I love fashion (even though I mainly wear sweatpants) and literature. I've been really into beading and embroidery this summer, and am currently reading Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. I have loved getting to know the Laidlaw cohort at MIT and Cambridge University, so please reach out with any questions or to say hi!

I am a Critical Realist researcher in the Sociology of Education, developing a theory of Positive Organisational Culture. My research explores how organisational environments shape people's experiences, opportunities, and sense of belonging, with an initial focus on the transition to secondary schooling and wider implications for organisations beyond education.
