\nWhat?<\/strong>
\nOur annual 3 Minute Postdoc Slam is a science communication and professional development event.<\/span>\u00a0It is a great chance to learn more about the diverse research being done by UBC Postdocs and RAs. In addition, we have two amazing keynote speakers lined up (Drs.\u00a0Parshati Patel<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Jonathan Kellogg<\/a>)\u00a0who will share their expertise on public engagement. Whether you are interested in sharing your academic research or communicating science with the public, social media is an ideal tool with many benefits. In her talk, Dr. Patel will walk you through different platforms while discussing the best practices and engagement strategies for each of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

For UBC Postdocs and RAs, this is a great opportunity to showcase your work and\u00a0practise your elevator pitch.\u00a0You will have 3 minutes and 1 static slide to describe your research to a general audience,<\/span>\u00a0and have a chance to\u00a0win cash prizes<\/strong><\/em><\/span>!<\/p>\n

Sounds great. How do I sign up?<\/strong>
\nPlease\u00a0register<\/a>\u00a0if you want to attend and submit your title and a 1-2 sentence description of your project if you want to present. We encourage postdocs from all scientific fields to sign up.<\/p>\n
