Vitae Researcher Development International Conference: Vitae 3MT® competition

Congratulations to Owen Gwydion James, from the University of Edinburgh who won the 3MT® prize with his three minute presentation about 'Human myelin in a dish'. Owen won a £3,000 grant to spend on a public engagement activity of his choice. The judges admired his analogy to communicate complex ideas and his ability to demonstrate the potential impact of his work.

Voted by the audience, Jamie Khoo won the People's Choice Award, with her engaging presentation 'But is she pretty?', challenging women's responses to beauty ideals. 

Thanks to our offical Sponsor, Taylor & Francis and to UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) for their prize-level support.
