The School of Graduate Studies would like to thank all our participants in this year's inaugural 3 Minute Thesis Competition which culminated today with the final.  With nine (9) students coming through the heats to be in the final, it was anyones guess as to who would take the top prize.

Congratulations goes to Jennifer Campbell, Ph.D candidate in Engineering Physics who won the top prize as well as the People's Choice Award. Supervised by Dr Robert Knobel, Jennifer presented her work on "Nanocantilevers: a new tool for medical diagnostics". 

Runner up to Jennifer was Ann McKellar, a Ph.D candidate in Biology.  Ann is supervised by Dr Laurene Ratcliffe and she presented her work on "How will climate change affect migratory birds?".
