Bake Your Research Star Bakers 2023

This Open University Graduate School ‘Bake Your Research’ competition took place recently, with Postgraduate Researchers from a range of disciplines representing their research through the delicious medium of baked goods.

This year, Bake Your Research saw the OU research themes of Sustainability, Tackling Inequalities and Living Well reflected in the bakes. And this was also mirrored in the cakes that stole the show:
