Spotlight Challenge
We invite fans of postdocs to participate in our NPAW 2021 Spotlight Challenge!
Who: Any UCSF community member
What: UCSF postdocs are engaged in a wide range of research and community activities. During the week of NPAW, we challenge the UCSF community to spotlight the impacts – both big and small – that UCSF postdocs have made in the past year.
How:
- Reflect on something your postdoc(s) have discovered or contributed to your lab and/or research team’s discoveries OR share with one thing (or more!) that you appreciate about your postdoc(s).
- Write a summary or caption an image describing their discovery/contribution OR words of appreciation and encouragement.
- Share your message on Twitter or via email:
- For Twitter - tag us @UCSF_Postdocs and include the hashtags #NPAW2021 #ucsfNPAW
- For Email - BCC us [email protected] and UCSF Recognize in your message to the postdoc(s)
Two randomly selected spotlight challenge messages — one from Twitter and one from email — will be selected each day during the week of NPAW, winning a $10 Amazon gift card for the postdoc you are honoring! On Saturday September 25, there will be a final random lottery drawing, and two postdocs spotlighted via Twitter or email during the week of NPAW will each win a $75 Amazon Gift Card!
