The University of Newcastle had its annual Three-Minutes-Thesis competition finals at the Newcastle Conservatorium.
Finalists from multiple faculties had to qualify through earlier rounds and compete to represent the University at the Australia-Asia finals.
All presentations were of superb quality, heralded by both spectators and judges. Two of the 15 finalists were from the School of Psychology at the Faculty of Science: Korinne Nicolas and Alix Woolard presented their research on 'keen brain' and 'baby-talk'. respectively. Alix won the popular vote prize. In addition, Ashlea Rendell from the Faculty of Engineering, who is co-supervised by Psychology staff, went on to win the third overall prize.
