Undergraduate Essay Prize 2007

We are delighted to announce that the Society received 60 entrants for the competition in 2007. Each submission was assessed by a distinguished panel who marked and ranked each essay. Dr Joy Hinson (Council Education rep), oversaw the marking and ranking process and was highly impressed with the quality of essays submitted.

Ultimately there could only be one winner, and this year the top prize of £1000 was awarded to Harry Leitch, a third year medical student from Cambridge University for his essay entitled Re-engaging undergraduates with endocrinology;- another role for kisspeptin?
