Join us for the 6th UCSF Postdoc Slam competition! Our popular research communication competition for postdocs is back, and we are planning for an exciting event on Tuesday, September 19, 2023, 4-6 p.m. PDT. Ten UCSF postdoc finalists will present their research in three minutes or less, in language accessible to a general audience. It's a celebration not only of the finalists and contest winner, but also of postdoctoral research at UCSF and of scientific inquiry. Postdoc Slam is a featured event in UCSF's National Postdoc Appreciation Week activities.
