Academic Research Poster Success!

For many years now, Moulton College has run a competition that seeks to find the best academic research poster amongst all current second and third year Degree students. This mimics what happens at scientific conferences, where scientists can present research findings in the form of an informative poster to a wider audience.

This years competition was judged by the University of Warwick's Dr Sebastiano Giudice, who commented very positively on the quality of the student work and indicated that they compared favourably with the standards at his University. So who won?

Well of the three available categories, higher education students studying countryside management won two - a remarkable achievement considering there were hundreds of available entries. Lewis York won the research category for his poster which was entitled 'Habitat Preferences of Marsh Tits (Poecile palustris) and Blue Tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) at Monks Wood National Nature Reserve NNR'. Alex Laws won the case-study category for his poster describing a project with Natural England that was catchily entitled 'Re-creating Jurassic Park'!

Images of the winning posters are given above.
