Hi everyone,

As we announced last week, the GAPS Three Minute Thesis Competition will
be held at noon on Tuesday October 24th. Students and postdocs are invited
to give a three minute (one slide) presentation of their research (thesis
or other project) aimed at a scientifically literate non-specialist
audience (the actual audience will be your fellow GAPS members, plus three
judges from the lab).

This is a great exercise in summarising what you do, and distilling it
down to the most important and interesting essence -- very helpful in job
interviews.

Additionally, there will be prizes! The top finisher in each category
(“Students (grad or co-op)" and “Postdocs”) will win an Amazon gift card
worth $100. This year will also feature a new category, “People’s Choice.”
The winner of that one, to be chosen by the audience, will go home with a
$50 Amazon gift card.

If you would like to participate in the competition, please respond to
this email with:
1. your name
2. the name of your supervisor (so we can avoid conflicts of interest in
our selection of judges)
3. whether you’re a student (grad or co-op) or postdoc
4. the title of your talk (if you have one already)

Thanks to those of you who already said you’d take part! We're looking
forward to a great competition.

Your GAPS committee
