Members of the School of Physics Micro- and Nanostructural Materials research group took the prize for Best Team Performance in a four-week University-wide challenge to promote walking organised by the  Centre for Sport, Exercise and Health.

 

PhD student James Shirtcliffe, also from the School of Physics, was named Most Improved Walker in the same challenge and another PhD student from the School of Physics, Chris Hodges, was one of the runners up, along with Hilary Taylor, from School of Clinical Sciences, and Rachel Cardew, from the Education Support Unit. All were presented with their awards at a ceremony on 8 May.

Although the challenge is now over there is still time to get involved in walking. This week [13-17 May] is Walk to Work Week, part of National Walking month. More at University news pages.
