Hanka Besic, University of Galway

PhD candidate Hanka Besic presented her FlowPhotoChem research in an abbreviated context titled "Sunlight, Air and Humble Materials" as part of the May 2024 Threesis. Threesis is a research communications training programme and competition at the University of Galway.  Threesis invites postgraduate research students (Masters, PhD, MD) at the University of Galway for a series of training sessions, competition heats and a Grand Finale.

This presented an opportunity to meet colleagues, learn about different research happening all over the University and hone communication skills.

Threesis training took place in April and participants shared the story of their research in the Researcher Development Centre in the Research and Innovation Centre on campus in May.

Hanka presented in Heat 5 on Thursday, May 23rd. Hanka reports that approximately 60 individuals participated in the training, with around 40 presented their theses. In her heat, there were seven presentations from various fields.

Unfortunately, she did not make it into the top 12 finalists. However, she received an acknowledgement certificate for the training. Hanka says, "The experience of presenting to a non-specialized audience within such a short timeframe was invaluable, and I found the presentations from other participants very interesting."
