The 2021 MRC WIMM Christmas Decorating Competition
21 December 2021
In this festive item, we look at how MRC WIMM researchers turned their science into decorations as part of the 2021 Christmas decorations competition.
From sample-tube Christmas trees, to ornamental chromosomes, a loofha wonderland and a message in a pipette-tip box, the creativity of the WIMM was on full display in this years competition.
An incredibly close contest, researchers from across the MRC WIMM showed their festive flair and creativity across a range of media.
After tallying the judge's choices, I am delighted to announce that the winner of the 2021 competition is the Rehwinkel Group!
'Nucleic acid sensing has never looked so festive' remarked one of the judges.
