Virtual Research Day
At the 2021 Virtual Research Day event students and associates joined and presented a 10-minute presentation on a topic of their research or interest…
The Lucy Cavendish Research Day was organised by Research Fellow Dr Sarah Morgan
Free and open to all, it presented an opportunity for research ideas or outcomes to reach a wider audience; a short Q&A session after each talk enabled participants to dig deeper into specific areas of interest. View the 2020 Research Day photo album.
The presentations were illustrated on the day by one of the speakers, Julia Hayes, 3rd year PhD whose research focuses on Colombian children with disabilities. She combines her passion for art with academic research.
Sarah said:
“Many thanks to everyone who came to the research day yesterday, and to everyone who presented. We had a fantastic line up of posters and talks, covering a wide range of research from right across the College.”
The prizes are as follows:
Best poster:
- Sophie Scott, "Revitalising the Wapato: Indigenous Eco-Cultural Restoration among Katzie First Nations, British Columbia, Canada."

- Blanche Gonzales de Linares, "An analysis of scalar items under memory load using an inference task"
- Emma Perry, "Dissolution of mixed oxide fuels"?”
Four diverse topics from the day, from Cancer Research to environmentally friendly, scalable and cost-effective manufacturing strategies, have been distilled into in our Research Day 2020 Podcast - listen below. Our thanks to Fellow-Commoner Boni Sones OBE for producing it.
1. Matilde Duarte (Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute) - Novel models and therapeutics for choroid plexus carcinoma
2. Clarisse Beurrier (Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology)- Cell-based meat: Advances towards environmentally-friendly, scalable and cost-effective manufacturing strategies
3. Dr Stephanie Brown (Postdoc, Psychiatry) - Diffusion structural network metrics as a predictor for Alzheimer’s Disease diagnosis in Downs Syndrome
4. Mary Sharpe (Visiting Scholar) - What is love - biology, culture, spirit?
