Fungi Festival
Thanks to everyone who came out to the first ever Fungi Festival! We had an amazing turn out, and heard lots of positive feedback about how impressive, engaging and entertaining the students’ displays were. The students of BISC 328 Fungal Biology really put on an outstanding show! I’ve copied some photos below for anyone who couldn’t make it (thanks to our photographer Kevin Lam!).
As part of the Festival attendees voted on the best displays. We received 154 voting ballots from attendees, with votes in three different categories. The winning displays and two runners-up are listed below (each display can only win in one category).
Please join me in congratulating the winners, and all the students who participated!
