2019 Research Day Information
Save the Date! The 19th Annual Graduate Student and Postdoc Research Day will be held on Friday, March 22, 2019 at Biotech Place, Auditorium & Atrium, Bowman Gray Campus.
SUBMISSION FORM:
Students and postdocs must be the primary producer of the work being presented. Posters that have already been presented at conferences are welcome. The Three Minute Thesis (3MT™) is a skills development activity which challenges Research Higher Degree students to explain their research project to a non-specialist audience in just three minutes. (See the following website for additional details: http://threeminutethesis.org/).
SUBMISSION DEADLINE:
Students and postdocs should complete the SUBMISSION FORM no later than the extended deadline of: Friday, February 8, 2019 at 5:00 pm.
EVENT SPECIFICATIONS:
POSTER: The poster presentation must be in the form of a poster and no larger than 60 x 40 inches. Easels, foam-board backing boards, and pins will be provided for setting up the posters. Both students and postdocs may participate but we only have space for 85 posters, so please sign up early. Please note that the posters will NOT be judged so we encourage you to take part in the raffle.
THREE MINUTE THESIS COMPETITION: For the 3-minute thesis presentations a single static PowerPoint slide is permitted. No slide transitions, animations or ‘movement’ of any description are allowed. The slide is to be presented from the beginning of the oration. (See the following website for additional rules: http://threeminutethesis.org/rules-judging-criteria).
