The Society is pleased to announce the winners of the first Rob Clarke Awards, which were introduced this year to recognise excellence in physiology research at undergraduate level. Eighteen finalists were selected for a Rob Clarke Abstract Award and invited to present their abstract as a poster to a team of judges at Physiology 2012 on 4 July 2012. Each finalist also received £200 to support their attendance at the meeting and one year’s free membership of The Society.

Six finalists were each awarded a Rob Clarke Presentation Award.

The winners were:

• Lucy Gentles (University of Liverpool)
• Adam Keen (University of Manchester)
• Hannah McKay (University of Oxford)
• Sejal Modasia (King’s College London)
• Jonathan Prager (University of Bristol)
• Mina Skelly (University of Bristol)

Award winner, Adam Keen, said: “It was a great opportunity to speak to people, many of whom gave interesting ideas about further studies for me to do relating to this work.”
