Nuffield
Bursaries For Jordan And Amy
11-09-02
The bursaries gave them the opportunity to work five weeks at the Environmental Research Institute of North Highland College.
Both students worked
on projects researching methods of removing heavy-metal pollutants from
industrial waste water. Jordan’s project investigated the use
of crab shell as a natural bio-sorbant, while Amy’s project was
working with tree bark and heather. Both students enjoyed having the
opportunity to see what the work of a research scientist involves.
”It was a valuable experience working in the real scientific world,”
said Amy.
Jordan commented: “It was really good because it allowed me to
see what a career in science would be like.”
Thurso High is pleased that the ERI continues to offer
local students such opportunities through its continued sponsorship
of the bursary scheme.
