Make a societal difference

Enya Gomes Clynch and Dougie Head were selected to represent 果冻影院 and present their research on using coffee grounds as a renewable energy source.

Little did they know how many influential people their idea resonated with: 鈥淲e were approached at the event by an Energy Adviser in Parliament who has since supported us and even wrote a letter of recommendation for a grant we recently applied for!鈥

Level up your presentation skills

Zane Mitrevica who presented her rather complex research on how the brain produces behaviour by analysing the brains of fruit flies, recognised how important it is to present research in an engaging and concise way.

鈥淐ondensing scientifically detailed information into something that everyone can benefit from is not as easy as it might seem. In fact, I feel that an ability to modify my presentation on the spot based on the particular listener is my most important takeaway from this great experience.鈥
