USyd Dalyell Showcase

First bite of research for undergraduate high-achievers - Projects in research labs across the Faculty - Theme: 'Renewal'

[USyd Dalyell Showcase @tspshowcase]

Welcome one and all to the #dalyellshowcase 2019. The students have some great projects to show you. Send any questions with this hashtag.

Check out the 1st first-author paper by our brilliant undergrad @ViTran04219718! https://t.co/Moaz7yXXbQ
Vi showed that anti-haemostatic drugs increase the severity of systemic infection by uropathogenic E.coli in #zebrafish.

[Elinor Hortle 🐟🐀🔬🧫 @ElinorHortle]

Vi's work with myself and @oehlerslab at @CentenaryInst was made possible through the Dalyell Scholar @tspshowcase program, and by funding from @NSWCVRN.

First first author paper by our overachieving undergrad Simone Morris online at @SciReports https://t.co/LUb7CewOae characterising the added glucose zebrafish larva model of diabetic blood pathologies

[Stefan Oehlers @oehlerslab]

Co supervised by @cholan_pradeep , Simone did most of this work as a Dalyell Scholar @tspshowcase in Semester 1 2020. Glad that keeping the lab at @CentenaryInst open during the first wave let Simone catch the bench work bug https://t.co/PAmzFP92kB

also a HUGE congrats to the team who made it happen this year---@SydneyChemistry's Kickstart and Postgraduate Teaching Fellow squads went absolutely above and beyond. An absolute pleasure to work with ✨💫🧪

The first 2020 Faculty of Science Welcome is buzzing.

[USyd Dalyell Showcase @tspshowcase]

The 2019 Semester 2 @Sydney_Science #dalyellshowcase is underway! 13 undergraduate research projects from across the Faculty and beyond.

What’s so funny about comedians asks this #dayellshowcase group. Great project on understanding the dynamics of laughter 🤣⁦@Sydney_Science⁩ ⁦@Sydney_Uni⁩ ⁦@tspshowcase⁩

Group 13: so...what's next? Can I solve for bigger systems? #dalyellshowcase

[clare ❤️‍🔥 @clarejtbirch]

Group 7: when we develop biosensors, we need to make sure that they're only sensitive to what we want to find. How could you ensure your coumarin dye doesn't light up in the presence of other molecular systems? #dalyellshowcase

[clare ❤️‍🔥 @clarejtbirch]

Group 12: what issues might there be with the survey and self-reporting of emotions in general? How does EEG reduce these errors? #dalyellshowcase

[USyd Dalyell Showcase @tspshowcase]

Periodicity in time series data, but make sure your method can cope with the business closing for the weekend! #dalyellshowcase

[CriticalChipmunk @CriticalChipmu1]

Group 14: What are the real-world applications of your research? #dalyellshowcase

[UniSyd Anat & Histo @anh_sydney]

Is fear faster than happiness? Combining EEG recording and machine learning to work out how emotions are represented and coded in the brain #dalyellshowcase

[clare ❤️‍🔥 @clarejtbirch]

#dalyellshowcase Group 11: seems like you have something of a black box problem (something's going wrong, but because a CNN is magic, you don't know what it is)! What are some ways you might get past that?

[USyd Dalyell Showcase @tspshowcase]

#Mcbilliards testing of periodic billiards on triangles #dalyellshowcase

Young mathematicians celebrating the #IYPT2019 mentored by @clarejtbirch #dalyellshowcase

[CriticalChipmunk @CriticalChipmu1]

Group 12: Why weren’t you able to perform EEGs on subjects? #dalyellshowcase

[USyd Dalyell Showcase @tspshowcase]

Which emotions are recognized most quickly in the brain? Apparently it's fear. Over here it's pride pride pride. #dalyellshowcase #soproud

[USyd Dalyell Showcase @tspshowcase]

Training a convolution neural network to understand prostate images #dalyellshowcase but so far it is cheating
