Celebrate Research, C'mon
There's a celebration going on in MLT3 on June 8. Prof Marston Conder will give the opening address to the Student Research Conference 2009, then fourteen of the department's research students will deliver 25 minute talks on their latest research projects. And just like the 80's Kool and the Gang hit says; this is your celebration - so bring your good times, and your laughter too; we gonna celebrate research with you.
