The winner of the 2013 Student Academic Choice Award for Best Innovation was Dr Jane Saffell of the Faculty of Medicine.

Quotations from Dr Saffell's nominations:

“Dr Saffell has managed to integrate the world of research into the Neuroscience and Mental Health course… Dr Saffell introduced what is called “Story of a Paper”, an interactive lecture where an academic explains what their team has gone through to construct a research paper… [it] let us feel what being a researcher can be like, instead of mindlessly following instructions… She has allowed us to see that research can be enjoyable, in spite of the rough times.”
