Professor Sosabowski said: “The school have modern, up-to-date labs with the resources, solvents and chemicals required to do such a thing and with the help of our colleagues in (the university’s) Estates Department we were able to gain entry (to the labs), even though we are in lockdown.”
Professor Sosabowski, who has also collected up university eye shields to distribute to GP surgeries, said it was the obvious decision to go back to the labs: “The whole thing about my colleagues is that they’re modest and just want to come in and contribute albeit in this modest way.”
Colleagues, he said, didn’t hesitate: “The ability to contribute something that is tangible has been a relief to all four of us.
“The sanitizer will be sent to wherever it is needed the most and we have all agreed, we’ll make more if the need arises.”
