Hi, I'm Thomas (or Tom)  I'm a second year medical student studying at Hull York Medical School (HYMS). So far, the course has been great and I have really enjoyed meeting lots of new people. My research project focuses around an area of biology I have found super interesting since joining medical school - the blood and the immune system! As well as my studies, I am a Choral Singer for Hull Minster where I sing a whole range of music, as well as performing with other various music groups in the Yorkshire Area. I am also in training to be an operational First Aider for St. John Ambulance.  In terms of the future, my plans aren't completely set in stone yet - I'm open to many new experiences before I make that decision. If you have any questions for me, I would love for you to get in contact :)

I’m excited to connect with new people who share similar interests! 

Hello! My name is Ellesha, I am studying Natural Sciences specialising in Chemistry at the University of York, pursuing an MChem. With a background in Biology and Environment, I am very interested in organic chemistry with medicinal applications, and chemistry with applications in mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable living. I believe the purpose of scientific research is to improve lives and that science is of paramount importance in achieving a sustainable, equal future. My research project studies the effects of enhanced mineral weathering on leachate pH and metal concentrations, soil microbial activity, and plant growth, as a potential geoengineering method utilised to mitigate the effects of climate change. I am very happy to connect with people with similar interests and to respond to any questions!
