Competition
Thank you to all those who submitted entries to our science communication competition.
The competition encourages early and mid-career HRB-funded researchers to share their research with public audiences, and was hosted as part of the 2021 HRB Ones2Watch conference on Thursday 7 October.
Congratulations to Jennifer Pallin, PhD scholar and researcher in the School of Public Health at University College Cork (UCC) who is our 2021 Ones2Watch winner.
