This email was sent by the RFHS Office of the Vice-Dean (Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies) Dear grad students and postdocs, You may have seen the call for Falling Walls participants and wondered if it was relevant to you. I am here to tell you that it is! Falling walls is all about innovative ideas. It's like a 3MT but with emphasis on innovation and broad impact. You don't need to have a commercial angle or application to be considered innovative; there are other ways to shake up the field with novel approaches and research frameworks. So, I strongly consider that you apply by the March 31st deadline! Here are some links that might help: * Info session link (final session Friday, March 28 from 3-4pm): https://umanitoba.zoom.us/webinar/register/3617742755251/WN_fachKc9CTHSaa7k… * Application link: https://falling-walls.com/falling-walls-lab-manitoba-canada * More info and criteria: https://umanitoba.ca/ideastart/falling-walls-lab-manitoba It would be great to get more RFHS trainees in the mix!
