Our congratulations go to this year’s runner up
Lily Chang from the University of Auckland and this year’s winner of the three
minute thesis competition, Kelsey Kennedy from the University of Western
Australia. Kelsey managed to not only win
the competition, but also take home the people’s choice award.
We also commend all the students who entered the
completion and managed to condense and simplify their theses into an
interesting three minute talk to be understood by a lay person, this is an
impressive feat. We wish them luck in their future research.
