I currently play for the Oxford University Hockey 1st team, and received a full Blue last year after playing in the Varsity game against Cambridge. I am having the time of my life at Oxford and this support will help me to continue playing hockey as club membership fees are £150.

Support from the Faith Ivens/Franklin Travel fund is helping me attend two international conferences this year. The first is in Quebec, Canada while the second occurs in Istanbul, Turkey. At both, I have the opportunity to present talks on work related to my DPhil thesis in Archaeology which examines changes in numerical cognition in the Ancient Near East.
Although I am currently in my second year of a three-year programme of study, I can see a vast change in my theoretical understanding of my topic, thanks to the excellent guidance of Professors Chris Gosden and Lambros Malafouris. With the intellectual opportunities and challenges that the University provides to its graduate students, I can confidently assert that I am in academic heaven in my current situation.

The richness of academic faculty and the expertise of DPhil students here
in Oxford is really astonishing.

I have been able to study under the guidance of distinguished neuroscientists and experience life in a gorgeous college and city. For this I will always be thankful.

It is really heartening to hear about the generosity of Old Members in giving back to College, particularly in supporting the fantastic culture of recognising and rewarding the various achievements of students here. Studying Chemistry has not always been easy (particularly with long hours in the lab spent wondering what life would be like as an arts student!) but I have found myself increasingly enjoying the course as it has progressed. During the summer, I hope to undertake a research project in the Chemistry Department. The award of the prize will help me meet some of the costs associated with doing this and so for this, again, I am hugely grateful.
