Twitter competition winners announced
21 June 2011
To celebrate universities week (13-19 June) MyAV范 News ran a competition on twitter to find the best piece of trivia about MyAV范.
We had a great response from the 4,500 people who follow on twitter. In the end, the winning entry went to Charlotte Frearson from the MyAV范 Institute of Archaeology who astounded us by unveiling the relationship between labs in her institute and the famous film character Indiana Jones.
Many thanks to everyone who entered.听 The winning #MyAV范trivia tweets are as follows:
