 f\, postdocs\, graduates and especially UNDERGRADUATES. The aim is to lear
 n about each other’s research and foster discussion between the students
  and across different areas.\n\n£30 book voucher prize for best talk in e
 ach session voted by audience.\n\n£20 book voucher prize for the three be
