    Heard that it's on now. First I heard. No build up in social media.
    What projects are on?
    Is this the first thread on boards about it?

    That seemed to be the trend alright and the winners project was based on a societial/gender issue rather than other years such as pure maths/science/engineering.

    2019 winner -

    Optimizing the simulation of general quantum circuits’

    2018 winner -

    Investigation of the antimicrobial effects of both aerial and root parts of selected plants against Staphylococcus aureus.’

    2017 winner -

    ‘qCrypt: The quantum-secure, encrypted, data storage solution with multijurisdictional quorum sharding technology’



    It was more of a social science question this year

    2020 winners

    Analysis of the prevalence of gender stereotyping in five to seven year-olds.

    ---

    To be honest I found it refreshing, because at least could understand what the winning project was about this year! :o

    Normally goes way over my head!

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.
