Claire Haydon and Pat Eyers, who obtained their PhDs in Philip Cohen's group from 1996-2000 (Pat) and 1998-2002 (Claire), are to be married in Salisbury, Wiltshire on Saturday, 11 September 2004.
This is the fifth time that Philip has successfully acted as matchmaker. In the 1970's two of his postdocs, Gillian and Hugh Nimmo were married, while in the 1990's Ana Cuenda and Dario Alessi (then postdocs with Philip) got hitched. More recently Greg Moorhead (Postdoc with Philip and Carol MacKintosh from 1993-1998) married Pauline Douglas (PhD student with Carol from 1993-1997), while Kay Walker (PhD student with Philip from 1995-1998) married Martin Doherty (PhD student with Tricia Cohen from 1994-1997). Nimesh Mody (PhD student with Philip from 2000-2003) and Mirela Delibegovic (PhD student with Tricia from 1999-2003) have also announced their engagement.
In addition Anudharan Balendran (PhD student with Dario from 1997-2001) and Claire Hall-Jackson (Postdoc with Philip from 1997-2000) were married last year and whose baby son, Kiran Joshua was born in January 2004.
