The Central Clinical School 3MT (Three Minute Thesis) heat was held Tuesday 4 Aug. There were six strong contenders on a range of subjects. The winner was Ms Shanzana Khan, and runner up and winner of the 'People's Choice' vote was Ms Ashlee Conway (pictured).

 

Shanzana spoke on the influence of the Y chromosome lineage on blood pressure regulation. Ashlee had great fun with porphyria, otherwise and attractively known as 'Dracula's Disease'. We will be publishing videos of their presentations on CCS youtube channel. Shanzana will be competing at the Faculty final on Friday 21 August at 1 pm, Clayton. Please go along and support her!
