After seeing how amazing all of these projects were, you can imagine how difficult it was to choose winners. Nevertheless, we did. After lunch, was the graduation and prize-giving ceremony🏆

After hearing from each group, it was time for table touring🧐Assessors and spectators had a chance to have a closer look at the posters and pieces of science communication created by the students, and to ask them questions.

Here are the wonderful posters created by the students. Some amazing work considering the short amount of time they all had!

We started with each group going up to give a quick 3-minute 'Pecha Kucha' (Japanese for chit-chat!). Along with their Pecha Kucha, some groups also presented short videos, and we even had a live performance! Each group was also asked to tell their best science joke👀

The fun didn't end there! On the fourth day of #DNA2024 summer school, we had Mel Frances return to carry out her workshop on 'Science as an Act of Care.' Students reflected on why care towards science, and the practice of care in science is important🧑‍⚕️🥼🩺
