UCSF's annual Postdoc Slam competition — modeled on the highly successful Grad Slam — challenges postdocs to give a compelling presentation of their research in three minutes or less, using language that not only their peers but also non-specialists will understand. The competition incentivizes postdocs to clarify their ideas and to help others understand and appreciate their work.

Postdoc Slam Live Event

The 2019 Postdoc Slam contest will take place on Thursday, September 19, 4 - 6 p.m., at the UCSF Mission Bay campus in Genentech Hall Auditorium. The event will also be live-streamed to Parnassus (N 217) for those people unable to join us at Mission Bay. As the centerpiece of UCSF's Postdoc Appreciation Week, the contest will be a celebration not only of the finalists and contest winner, but also of postdoc research at UCSF and of scientific enquiry.
