DESCRIPTION:Neda is a third year PhD student with the University of York\,
  based at the Natural History Museum\, London. Her research revolves aroun
 d finding microorganisms that can be used in a process known as biomining\
 , the extraction of metals from mine waste and low-grade ore using bacteri
 a. Biomining is a commercially used\, sustainable alternative to tradition
 al metal extraction methods and an economically justifiable way to access 
 resources locked up in mine waste. In this talk\, Neda will be discussing 
 how biomining combines the mineralogical and biological\, along with how h
 er project hopes to improve the biomining process in the presence of arsen
 ic.
