Josephine McSherry

Josephine McSherry is a PhD student contributor to Physics World. An ecologist by nature, Josephine ran a nitrate and phosphate testing project on the River Kennet in collaboration with Action for the River Kennet and DelAgua Water Testing, before embarking on a PhD in geochemistry and hydro-geology at the University of Leeds in 2016. She is investigating the origin and fate of nitrate pollution in the Yorkshire ground water. A period of living in South Africa ignited an enthusiasm for birds and the outdoors, so on weekends Josephine can often be found in the Yorkshire countryside with binoculars in hand and a friend’s whippet, Blue, by her side. In a previous life she was an analytical chemist for a winery and a lock keeper on the River Thames.
