Postgraduate Fair Kindle Winner
When George Yates attended the Postgraduate Courses Fair at the end of November, he wasn鈥檛 aware that he was about to have to rethink his Christmas list. George鈥檚 registration card was randomly picked from over 350 entries on the day of the Fair, and he became the lucky winner of a brand new Amazon Kindle, which coincidently was at the top of his Christmas wish-list when we met up with him in December.
George was obviously delighted to win the Kindle, but we were also interested to hear why he decided to investigate his options at the Fair:
鈥淚鈥檓 studying Zoology at the moment, and particularly interested in the Evolution and Genetics module. I鈥檓 really keen to study molecular ecology 
at postgraduate level 鈥� I鈥檝e always wanted to study the evolutionary history of life at a large scale, and molecular data has really altered our understanding of life鈥檚 origins and early history. But it鈥檚 also very useful for understanding more specific topics, like population viability, regional variation and cryptic diversity 鈥� the versatility appeals to me more than anything.
Asked what he would say to anyone contemplating study at 香港六合彩挂牌资料, George had this advice:
鈥溝愀哿喜使遗谱柿� is known for research excellence, and has many international connections 鈥� if you love the subject, and want the opportunity to meet professionals in whatever field you鈥檙e interested in, then apply! And as far as 鈥榦utdoorsy鈥� universities go, 香港六合彩挂牌资料 is about as good as you can get for location 鈥� it鈥檚 just a great place to be.鈥�
The next Postgraduate Courses Fair will take place on Friday 28th February in PJ Hall.
