SINtern in Toronto: Saira Meese-Tamuri

Earlier this month, we recruited a new intern to work with SIN Canada from the British Consulate-General here in Toronto. Saira Meese-Tamuri will be taking projects based on some of the eight great technologies forward, as well as working on external communications (follow her on Twitter at @SMeeseTamuri). You may have already seen some of her blog posts, which means that she’s already quicker than me at getting new content out.

Saira holds a B.Sc. in Integrative Biology and Neuroscience and a M.Sc. in Behaviour Genetics, both from the University of Toronto. Her research has been submitted to the Journal of Neuroscience and Heredity, and has been accepted in Journal of Neurochemistry, and presented at several conferences. She has also been extremely active as a volunteer and mentor, running programmes aimed at getting girls into science and improving green initiatives on campus.

A warm welcome from the SIN team to Saira, and we look forward to some new and interesting UK-Canada projects.
