HTX, a Singapore agency, presented its first Undaunted Student Award.
The award went to students who kept working after their research hit setbacks.

Why the Good News Desk likes this one

The award is HTX's first of its kind, and it honours persistence in research rather than only the final result. The source gives few details of the projects, so the story's main value is the message it sends to young researchers.
