PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO A LATER DATE TBD. 
In compliance with campus restrictions on large gatherings through April 15 as part of efforts to control the spread of COVID-19, Grad Slam will be rescheduled for a later date, featuring the same ten finalists.

Do you love a succinct research talk?

Then don't miss UCSF's 6th Annual Grad Slam Competition, as it culminates in this LIVE event!

Join us as 10 PhD student finalists each present their research in 3 minutes or less in front of the judges and a live audience – in language accessible to a general audience. This popular event always draws a crowd, so mark your calendar and plan to show up early. Cash prizes of $4,000, $2,000, and $1,000 will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize winners. Reception and award presentation at Mission Bay will follow immediately after.

Note that YOU may also be a judge! The winner of the "People's Choice" category ($750 prize) will be chosen by the audience at Mission Bay and the Parnassus live stream.

NOTE: Once again, the event will also be live-streamed to Parnassus (N 225)! Attendees at Parnassus will also be able to cast audience ballots, and will enjoy a reception after the talks, while awaiting announcement of awardees.

UCSF is committed to providing accessible and inclusive programming to all participants. To request a reasonable accommodation for this event, please contact Erik Rotman at erik.rotman@ucsf.edu by March 5, 2020.
