Shannon Nelson is a PhD student at NICB and her project focuses on analysing the genetic basis of Pancreatic Cancer. Shannon recently produced this slidedeck to explain her research for the 2018 DCU "Tell It Straight" competition. "Tell it Straight" is an annual DCU-run science communication competition that challenges post-graduate PhD students to communicate their research to a general audience and panel of judges that have no prior knowledge of their research, using either a presentation or a video. The competition was held on March 7th 2018 in HG22, Nursing Bldg., DCU.
