UKFN WEEKLY ROUND-UP 28/07/2022

If you would like to circulate a brief message to the UKFN mailing list,
please send an appropriately formatted item to info at fluids.ac.uk by
Thursday noon of each week. Please let us know if you no longer require
an advertisement. 

A. UKFN MESSAGES 

FROM: Nick Daish, 23/06/2022
SUBJECT: UKFN photo/video competition #12
Last chance to enter the 12th UKFN photo/video competition, open to all
UK-based fluids researchers, for the best new photo and video on the
theme of ‘FLUIDS IN THE NATURAL WORLD’. The winning photo and video will
each receive a prize of £200. Full details of how to enter may be found
on the UKFN Connect page https://fluids.ac.uk/connect. The closing date
is 31 JULY 2022. 

_Please note the photo or video does not necessarily have to feature the
natural world explicitly, e.g. a photo of a wave on the beach or a video
of a bird in flight - any media from your research would qualify
provided it relates to some aspect of the natural environment, which you
should briefly explain in the entry's description._ 

FROM: Ignazio Maria Viola, 01/06/2022
SUBJECT: UKFN Thesis Prize - 2023 and beyond

We are pleased to announce that from now on, Internal and External
Examiners can nominate a PhD candidate for the UKFN Prize for the best
UK Fluids thesis at any time of the year. 

The thesis must be for a doctoral degree in fluids-related research
awarded by a UK institution. Examiners can submit the nomination to
competition at fluids.ac.uk as soon as the PhD examination has taken place:
a citation of 300-500 words is required from each Examiner together with
brief details of the candidate and their thesis. Full details are given
here [1]. The winner of the Award receives a prize of £500.
