Grad Slam is back! We are planning a lively event for Tuesday, April 4, 2023, 4-6 p.m. PST. Ten PhD student 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 graduate research at UCSF and of scientific inquiry.
Grad Slam is a featured event in UCSF's celebration of Graduate Student Appreciation Week.
Cash prizes of $4,000, $2,000, and $1,000 will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize winners chosen by the panel of judges. And the audience will choose the "People's Choice" winner, who will receive $750.
Join us in person at Byers Auditorium, Genentech Hall at Mission Bay, or tune into the live stream on YouTube. Either way, you can vote for the "People's Choice" audience favorite.
