We are thrilled to announce that Elsie Moore, a 15 year-old from The Thomas Hardye School in Dorchester, has won our national ‘Women in Physiology’ poster competition.

To mark 100 years of women’s membership of The Physiological Society, we invited 11-16 year-olds to design a poster focusing on the achievements of women who have won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Seven entries were shortlisted by a panel of judges and then displayed within the exhibition at Physiology 2015, where attendees were invited to vote for which they considered to be the best poster.

Elsie received the most votes for her poster on Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard and hence will receive a certificate, £50 Amazon gift voucher and a visit from a prominent female physiologist to her school. The originality and creativity of her poster attracted a lot of praise from attendees throughout the meeting.

We are absolutely delighted with the variety of entries we received and would like to thank everyone who entered.
