The BUFI Science Festival is an annual competitive event to showcase the science undertaken by BGS PhD students. The research the students do is of the highest quality, however the focus of the festival is to give our researchers the opportunity to practice their communication skills to a mixed but friendly audience of both scientists and non-scientists.
