Emergency management conference prize

My University Research News eChannel has covered the prize I won for best presentation at the Emergency Services conference at Nottingham Trent University, November 2012, when I talked about the research I have done into collective resilience in mass emergencies (some references below). It was a nice surprise, as I had left the conference an hour early to meet up with an old friend, and later found out by e-mail that I had won but missed the award ceremony, which explains the rather windswept picture of me holding the certificate on my University campus in Brighton.

Text is second item down in the eChannel coverage.
