Editor's Notes
- #5: Participants break into groups of three. Each person briefly explains their research to their 2 partners (5 minutes). Each group decides which of the three research topics to take forward to the next stage of the exercise and the chosen researcher gives the other 2 partners a broader explanation of their research so that they can plan a 90 second presentation on the explained research. They must then make the presentation to the room and take one or two questions without any input from the researcher whose work is being discussed.
