Celebrate September's National Postdoc Appreciation Week by joining us for the 4th Annual UCSF Postdoc Slam LIVE event!

Ten postdoc finalists will 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 event is likely to be standing-room only, so mark your calendar and plan to show up early! The judges will award cash prizes of $3K, $1.5K, and $1K to their top 3 choices.  Reception and award presentations will immediately follow the competition.

YOU may also be a judge! The winner of the "People's Choice" category ($750 prize) will be chosen by the audience.

**NOTE that Postdoc Slam will also be live-streamed to Parnassus (N 217). Parnassus viewers will also cast "People's Choice" ballots and enjoy a reception!

Representatives of UCSF Advocates will be on hand at the Mission Bay event before the competition and during the reception to organize NIH social media advocacy as part of the Rally for Medical Research Digital Advocacy Day. Help ensure Congress knows NIH funding must be a priority in the federal budget!
