A quote from one of Steve's students:

"He provides outstanding academic leadership to a level I have never experienced before. He always has excellent ideas on how to bring research projects to the next level, and provides regular support in trouble shooting scientific set-backs. He has a great amount of integrity and leads by example, creating a stimulating and safe research environment for his research team to thrive. He encourages those around him to support each other and lift each other up, resulting in a productive and happy research team" 

"Emily created and led the successful implementation of a new residential field course for 200+ students in October 2022, to support their transition to (and sense of belonging at) our university. This course took a lot of planning, including effective coordination of staff from the university and external on-site staff to be successful."
