We are all done with Heat 1 of this year ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s 3MT competition!
A massive thank you to all of the students who participated and shared their research – presenting years’ worth of thesis research in 3 minutes is not an easy task, and the students who presented today all did a fantastic job.
Here are the results for this Heat:
Third Place goes to Scott Davidson from Neuroscience! His presentation looked at a new Psychotherapy technique called neurostimulation, using gentle electrical currents to help deal with serios mental illnesses such as schizophrenia.
Second place goes to Ethan Januszkiewicz, also from Neuroscience! Ethan ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s research looks into vesicles, which act like a package being delivered to our brains from our muscles after exercise.
First place goes to Dilakshan Srikanthan from Translational Medicine! Dilakshan shared his research into the development of a specialized device known as an iKnife, which allows brain surgeons to differentiate between tumor tissue and brain tissue in real time.
See you tomorrow for Heat 2!
