The Rob Clarke Awards are always a highlight of The Society’s annual meeting, offering a chance for recent graduates to present their undergraduate research at what is often their very first scientific meeting. If their abstract is shortlisted, they are invited to present their project as a poster at the meeting and receive £200 to support their attendance.

This year, 19 students were shortlisted and invited to Physiology 2015 for final judging. The judges were impressed with all the finalists but agreed that Zelie Britton, from Imperial College, London stood out from the others, both for the quality of her poster on ‘Menthol as an anti-tussive: evidence for direct modulation of airway sensory nerves’ and the eloquent, knowledgeable way in which she presented it.

Zelie said, ‘The Physiological Society meeting in Cardiff was very enjoyable, offering me the opportunity to present a poster at a national conference and to discover the work of other labs. Thank you so much to all involved in organising the Rob Clarke Awards.’
We would like to thank all the students and judges who took part in the competition.
