We are excited to introduce a new event, the 3 Minute Postdoc Slam!  This will be a friendly competition and a super fun event where you will have just 3 minutes to  present the breadth and significance of your work to a non-specialist audience (remember that postdocs come from various departments across UBC).  Our event will be modeled after the UBC Grad Studies 3 Minute Thesis event, with a few adjustments.  Please see their website for information about the event and examples.  Also, check out our flyer, and hang it up in your building if you can!

Event Details:

The competition will be judged (see criteria) and the top presenters will be awarded magical prizes! The presentations will be followed by a reception.

We will ask for presentation titles and will send out more details later.  For now, here are the rules:

  • A single static PowerPoint slide is permitted (no slide transitions, animations or ‘movement’ of any description)
  • No additional electronic media (e.g. sound and video files) are permitted
  • No additional props (e.g. laser pointers, costumes, laboratory equipment or musical instruments) are permitted
  • Presentations are limited to 3 minutes maximum.
  • Note that raps, singing, poems, dance, and creative motion are allowed.  Your slide must be static, but you don’t have to be!
