New staff

ITOPF welcomed two new Technical Advisers to the team this week, Lauren Fear and Dr Angela Pinzón-Espinosa (pictured left to right).

Lauren is a biologist and previously worked as a consultant ecologist, involved in assessing the impacts of large infrastructure projects on protected species and habitats in the UK.

Angela has a  PhD in Environmental Sciences and has worked on projects related to the clean-up of oil refining waste, chemical diversity in marine organisms and the recovery of coral populations in the Caribbean.

Earlier this year saw the departures of Senior Technical Adviser Dr Nicola Beer and Technical Advisers Dr Ann Zhang and Anne Reglain. We have also recently said goodbye to our IT Systems Manager, Chris Pavey.
