Mukta Aphale (dot.rural Computing Science Postgraduate Research Student) has been awarded the student bursary to attend this year's British Science Festival.

The Festival is in a different location in the UK each year, and this year takes place in Bradford (10th -15th September 2011) with the theme of ‘exploring new worlds’. 

All dot.rural students were invited to submit a written piece on the festival topic and links to their proposed research (in less than 800 words) to compete for a place.

Congratulations to Mukta and all who submitted entries! Download Mukta's winning entry here.
