Melbourne, Nov 27 (ANI): In a rather innovative collaboration between science and art, a PhD student from University of Sydney has won an international dance contest, where participants had to actually dance their thesis.
Dr Sue Lynn Lau stood first in the graduate student section with her entry "The role of vitamin D in beta cell function".
She has won a trip to Chicago as her prize where she will see her winning entry performed by professional dancers in February 2009.
Her routine included a troupe of five dancers who danced on three pieces of music: the Latin rhythm of 'Hot Hot Hot', moving through the classical 'Nutcracker Suite', ending with the popular 'Walking on Sunshine'. more
