Dr Trudi Gillespie
Many of you will have known Dr Trudi Gillespie, who sadly passed away in July 2022. She was an extremely talented microscopist, an integral member of the Scottish Microscopy community who many of us worked with at some point, and a friend to many. She was a member of the committee for many years as Treasurer, and will be greatly missed. We’ve put together a page for those who would like to fondly remember her.
