This week we bid a fond farewell to Simon, who has been the ‘voice’ behind the Soilsafe emails you receive when you take part in our soil metal screening programme. Simon has been working with Soilsafe since 2022, through some tumultuous COVID times, and has worked conscientiously and calmly through issues of samples being lost in the post, triple-checking high metal results before they go out to participants, and has been the friendly response on the end of the line when participants have questions.  Thank you Simon, for your commitment to awesome science communication and good luck in your future environmental science work with PDP! From all of the Soilsafe team 🙂
