2017 Honours Fest Winners

Last week, Honours students throughout the Faculty of Science presented their research at the 6th annual Honours Fest, a conference-style poster session. Honours Fest is the culmination of two semesters of grueling research, and an opportunity for students to show what has been occupying their time and brainpower.

Students, staff, faculty and others lovers of science from across the campus and Victoria gathered to learn more about remarkable student projects, ranging in topic from the shape of trees in ancient forests to the role of B cells in prostate cancer.

Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Fritz Boehm, students who place in the top three, as well as the top presenter in each department and school win generous cash prizes. Students are judged in three areas: scientific thought and creativity, their communication skills in presenting the research, and the quality of the poster and its ability to explain complex research in a logical way.
