PhD Student Phoebe Meyrick Awarded 2026 ASHB Studentship for Research on Social Inequality and ​Bone Histology

We are delighted to announce that Phoebe Meyrick, our PhD candidate, has been awarded a 2026 Studentship Grant from the Australasian Society for Human Biology (ASHB). This competitive $2,500 award recognises her innovative research investigating social inequality through bone histology, a project that integrates biological anthropology with questions of lived experience and structural disadvantage. The studentship will support research travel essential to her doctoral work and help cover the costs of specialised laboratory analyses. This achievement reflects both the significance of her research and her growing contribution to the field of human biology.

Congratulations Phoebe!
