Glyndŵr University Graduate School has just published its 4th Researcher Newsletter. See a copy here It is designed to be read online and includes links to other useful websites.
As editor I was keen to produce a student resource as well as an informative news document, aimed not just at students and university staff but also of interest to funders, business partners and the community at large. Content varies but I always try to ensure we represent the broad range of research that takes place at the university. This issue we cover the organic slug pellets being made from recycled cider production, commissioned by Heineken.
There is information about the “Distance Art Exhibition” that took place in Sofia, Bulgaria that forms a part of research being conducted by our programme leader for Art, John McClenaghen. His work was exhibited at the National Eisteddfod of Wales in 2011, and is now available on our research repository here . An image here of one of his pieces is also now part of the Peoples Collection Wales (for details see here). The Peoples collection Wales is bilingual website launched in August 2010, that stores images, videos, maps and other historical and culture information. Ordinary people can contribute as well as museums, so if you have not seen what it has to offer have a look now.
Researchers from the university’s Phillips Hydrocolloids Research Centre have been chosen by the Association for the International Pro-motion of Gum Arabic (Germany) and the Gum Arabic Board (Sudan) to provide international training on Quality and Good processing Practices of Gum Arabic to farmers, processors and exporters in Sudan.
There is an article about the Spruce Goose flying mystery, and the launch of the new Centre for Creative and Applied Research for the Digital Society (C.A.R.D.S) see here
