During the Science Festival Expo in 2016 we invited postgraduate students and their supervisors to share a short talk on the student's research. We recorded them so you could enjoy them later...
We've grouped the talks loosely by topic; choose fom the list below or use the headings to go to the different topic areas. The videos are all loaded on our YouTube channel, so you could work through them there also.
