Research Frontiers Contest results

The results of the UCL Research Frontiers contest have been announced, celebrating the fact that curiosity-driven discovery and analysis has been a feature of UCL from its foundation. UCL staff, students and alumni were invited by the Office of the UCL Vice-Provost (Research) to submit works reflecting on individuals, groups or units associated with UCL from 1826 to the present day that have exemplified the curiosity-driven, cross-disciplinary, pioneering nature of the activity we seek to generate through UCL Research Frontiers. Prize-winning entries by the following contest entrants can be downloaded from the UCL Research Frontiers website : Stephen Cox (UCL Chemistry) and Angelo Michaelides (London Centre for Nanotechnology) - Discovering the Noble Gases: a story of a chemistry superhero Pok Lam Fung (UCL Eastman Dental Institute) - Phosphorus necrosis unravelled and phossyjaw.wordpress.com Sara Wingate Gray (UCL Information Studies) - The Unsung Librarian: Ronald Staveley at UCL Gerta Vrbova (UCL Biosciences) - A.V.
