No-Bell Prize Final Event

MDHS No-Bell Prize Final Event

Members of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences are invited to attend the MDHS No-Bell Prize Competition Final event.

Hosted by Professor Christobel Saunders (Research Director) and Associate Professor Catherine Quinlan (Graduate Research Academic Lead) from the Melbourne Medical School, this interactive event is a must see for anyone interested in science communication and the breadth of research being undertaken across the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences.

The No-Bell Prize Competition is a fantastic opportunity for graduate researchers to communicate their research in a fun and interactive way, free from jargon. Each finalist will have one minute to introduce and explain their research, followed by four minutes of questions from the audience and host, to comprise a total of five minutes.

Those competing in the final have progressed through the heats and will compete for cash prizes including $1,000 for the No-Bell Prize winner and $500 each for the two runners-up. The audience will also have the chance to vote for the People's Choice Award.

Our distinguished guest, Nobel Prize winner Associate Professor Tilman Ruff AO, will briefly speak at the event and present the prizes to the winners. Light refreshments will also be provided.
