[cid:image002.jpg@01D6F948.C59A3EB0] The Manitoba Health Research Poster Competition (June 11) for graduate students is a great venue for students from across the health spectrum (Animal Science to Zoology... as broad as the CIHR mandate) to gain practice in presentation, receive feedback from experienced judges (awards of excellence are also available), and network with students from across the breadth of health research, both here and nationally. The opportunities for networking within the Canadian Student Health Research Forum (CSHRF) are broad, from the virtual student networking sessions... the broad-spectrum symposium by Gairdner laureates (June 16) and a workshop on Career Development (June 14). And it’s all free for participants, so I'd encourage you consider this opportunity and to pass the message along to your colleagues.

3MT 2021 - Call for Applications
by RFHS Graduate Studies 11 Jan '21

11 Jan '21

The Three Minute Thesis competition is a research communication competition that provides a valuable opportunity for master's and doctoral students to share their research with a non-specialist audience. Graduate students have three minutes to explain their research and its importance with only a single static image or slide to illustrate what they're talking about. A panel of judges drawn from the community will evaluate their presentations on criteria including confidence, ease in understanding, significance of the research, and quality of the presentation itself. Student competitors are selected by the Faculty of Graduate Studies on the basis of short, simple videos submitted as part of the application process. They are then grouped into sets of challengers who compete in heats before an online audience and preliminary judges. The top three winners from each heat will receive prizes, and the winners of the heats go on to the finals that will be held in April 2021. The 3MT competition offers an experience that promotes professional development, while also being fun and competitive! The application deadline is January 21. More details and how to apply online can be found at: umanitoba.ca/3mt<https://umanitoba.ca/graduate-studies/student-experience/three-minute-thesi…> Thank you for your support! Kelley Kelley J.
