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 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.
