Recently, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the F1000 Specialists programme, we invited all Specialists to participate in a video competition, i.e. submit a short video of the research that goes on in their lab. We’re rewarding each video with a £10 Amazon voucher, with a further chance to win a £50 voucher for being voted the most ‘liked’ YouTube video*. (If you aren’t a F1000 specialist, but would like to contribute, you can still sign up via LinkedIn.)

We received our first entry from F1000 Specialist Heather Etchevers from the Aix-Marseille University medical school in Marseille, France. Heather’s research is in the genetic and developmental mechanisms underlying rare birth defects, particularly congenital nevi.

As we receive more videos, we will add them to this playlist. Keep sending along your videos! Remember, they can be as short and simple as you like, and you can even add slides if you wish.

How to enter
Once you’ve created your video, upload it to YouTube and post the link, along with your name, on the F1000 Specialists LinkedIn group. Please only share videos you’re happy to make publically available. *Competition rules can be found here.
