DPhil students now have to present a poster in the Department at the end of their second year. Posters are placed in the atrium of the IEB, and it’s a quite popular event. Cynics may note that having free food in a grad student setting doesn’t hurt attendance, but in fact it’s interesting to see what other people are doing too.
For example, Alistair Hann, who lives in the same building but in a different lab, is doing research in how to combine different physiological variables that are monitored in intensive care for early detection of cardiac deterioration.
I have also been working on how to combine clinical variables to assess cardiac viability, but in a completely different way. (By this I mean that his seems to work).
WMVL people then proceeded to the Royal Oak to say farewell to Mengxing, who is going to work in London. If there’s something that this University doesn’t tolerate, that’s window smashing.
