Congratulations to the eight University of Adelaide Young Scientist of the Year video competition runners-up
Sustainable sugarcane, soil erosion and pest management are just some of the timely and important questions explored in the winning entries of the curriculum-linked University of Adelaide Young Scientist of the Year video competition.
High school students around Australia were invited to submit a short video on an environmental problem or solution on one of the following topics:
“Our world faces huge challenges and we know science holds the key,” stresses The University of Adelaide‘s Interim Executive Dean, Faculty of Sciences, Professor Katrina Falkner. “It’s great to see so many young scientists engaged with these challenges, producing high quality ideas and solutions.
