It is Thursday, and the award winning undergraduate students are presenting their work in snappy 3 minute sketches of their research. Subjects range from coping with war to alcoholism, new materials to gender bias, modelling cancer to historical interventions on the Taj Mahal. Students from Singapore to the the Czech Republic.The spread is all-encompassing - an eclectic mix of all aspects of human experience, and in every area, from cyberbullying to the visual arts, it is clear that huge changes are in progress.
Not only are these brilliant and sparkling young people capable of characterising and managing the huge changes which are afoot, they are thoroughly comfortable in this most dynamic of modern worlds.
It's great to see such energetic and proactive enthusiasm for communicating knowledge and ideas. Although they're the exception to most in academia I fear. T
