Congratulations to Simon Croft, Professor of Parasitology @LSHTM, who has been awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Science today 🎓 #DUcongregation
ALT Image of honorary doctorate, Simon Croft, with a quote saying "Over 50 years ago I graduated in Zoology from Durham University. It would never have occurred to me then that half a century later I would receive such an honour from my Alma Mater."
