Alumni
We have over 380 micropalaeontology MSc and PhD alumni.
Alumna Joyce Martha Signano awarded The Brady Medal
UCL Micropalaeontology congratulates alumna Dr. Joyce Martha Singano (PhD 1989) on the award of The Brady Medal.
The Brady Medal is the highest accolade of The Micropalaeontological Society (TMS) and is awarded to scientists who have had a major influence on micropalaeontology by means of excellent research and/or service to the scientific community.
