Samatva Lecture Competiton 2023
We awarded 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place prizes to the most outstanding presentations. Arshiya Fathima received the 1st place prize for her lecture on the Warburg effect, a phenomenon where cancer cells utilize anaerobic glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation, even with the presence of oxygen.
Our Lecture Competition is an intercollegiate competition for college students. Nominated students presented a 15 minute lecture on life-science related subjects, including cell biology, immunology, biochemistry, biotechnology, and neuroscience.
Our 1st Annual Lecture Competition 2023 was held at Central College, Bangalore on March 7th.
We implemented this competition to increase students' confidence on the science topics the students are studying and researching. This program also works to increase students' ability to communicate their scientific ideas effectively to a novice audience.
Samatva will continue to hold this Lecture Competition every year.
