Darshi Thoradeniya, a PhD student at CHM, has received an award for an article submitted to Medical History journal for the William Bynum Prize. The field was exceptionally strong in this opening year of the competition, and Darshi's article was much admired by the judges who ranked it as a joint-runner up; a significant achievement given the strength of the other submissions.

In addition, she has now been invited to publish the article in Medical History journal.

Medical History launched the William Bynum Prize this year. It is a prestigious, international essay competition coordinated by the Journal with the support of Cambridge University Press. The Prize is awarded to the author of an original essay on any theme relating to the history of medicine and its related sciences. It is open to doctoral students and early post-doctoral researchers (candidates who have completed their PhDs not longer than 3 years before submission of the entry).

The Prize’s awarding committee is chaired by Professor Bynum himself, supported by Medical History’s editor, Professor Sanjoy Bhattacharya, and members of the journal’s editorial advisory board.
