Congratulations, Monica Kirathi!
FameLab Cyprus 2017 1st place goes to a UNIC Human Biology student

Monica dazzled the audience with a story about three people…
Maria, Jack, and Alex all struggle with different addictions. She explains the molecular basis of addiction in a clear, entertaining way that leaves you with an empowering take-home message.

and she’s on her way to FameLab International!
Monica will now travel to Cheltenham Science Festival to compete at FameLab International among contestants from another 33 countries around the world in the largest Science Communication competition.


FameLab is a communications competition designed to engage and entertain by breaking down science, technology and engineering concepts into three-minute presentations. 

The National FameLab competition is organised by the British Council, SciCo Cyprus and the Research Promotion Foundation with the support of CYBC. 

Contestants from around the world take part armed only with their wits and a few props – the result is an unpredictable, enlightening and exciting way to encourage your curiosity and find out about the latest research.
