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.

Late yesterday afternoon we were made aware of a typo in one of the platforms advertising Research Days (CSHRF) indicating the deadline to register as July 7th. As we can't be sure how many students saw this July 7th deadline date, in an effort to try to minimize confusion and keep the competition fair, we have extended the registration deadline to July 7th.

If you receive this transmission in error, please notify the sender immediately Dear students, We are delighted to advise that key components of the annual Research Days event (Canadian Student Health Research Forum, CSHRF) will be offered in a virtual format later this summer. Regarding the Manitoba Poster Competition, the virtual format will include pre-recorded video presentations by student presenters followed (after initial evaluation by judges) by live (Zoom) discussion with the judges. Details of the mechanism by which presentations will be recorded will be provided to registered presenters in due course. The general time-frame for this process will be for students to upload their presentations between July 27 - 31 so that judges will have time to review presentations prior to their live discussion on the morning of August 21 (note: students will need to be available during the morning of Aug 21 for live (Zoom) Q&A). As you may anticipate, this will require considerable organization of virtual material (including videos), judging and Zoom meetings, so your adherence to the July 3 deadline for registration is essential. The detailed instructions for registration<http://umanitoba.ca/outreach/conferences/research_days/827.html> are listed on our website. A considerable benefit to the virtual format is that it permits (virtual) networking amongst participants around their posters presentations and we anticipate being able to facilitate these much-requested opportunities. Please note that Certificates of participation, awards of excellence and access to the CIHR National Poster Presentation will be available. We hope that you will take advantage of the opportunity to participate and gain experience as well as exposure of your research through this event. More details regarding other events (eg. Gairdner Symposium) within the CSHRF (week of August 24 - 28) will be available shortly. Cheers, Edwin A.
