The Tree Protection Co-operative Programme (TPCP) celebrated the first publication of a paper in an ISI-rated scientific journal by a postgraduate student from the work of either their PhD or MSc at a party on 26 November. The students RunLei Chang , Arista Fourie , Jan Nagel , Nam Pham and Mohammad Sayari were congratulated on this achievement by their primary supervisors and some bottles of sparkling wine were popped to mark their success.
