What is Graduate Research Day?
Graduate Research Day is a day to celebrate Graduate Student Research being done at the Institute of Parasitology. It is an opportunity for students at all levels to present their progress in a poster format, with the opportunity to give a talk as well. These poster sessions are meant to encourage one-on-one or small-group discussions, allowing for deeper, more personalized interactions compared to formal presentations. Presenters can receive real-time questions and feedback, fostering an active exchange of ideas.
Student Expectations:
Requirements:
Graduate students from the Institute of Parasitology at all levels must present a poster at Graduate Research Day. Ideas for poster content include data progress, troubleshooting, a project proposal, or a thesis summary. Students should prepare a 5-minute presentation to accompany their poster. Posters will not be evaluated for grades; however, a poster competition will be held with prizes for best posters.
Opportunities:
All graduate students are invited and encouraged to give a short presentation on their project in addition to presenting a poster. There are two presentation options. One 10-minute presentation with 3 minutes of questions, to allow for a more in-depth look into your project. There is also a 3-minute 鈥渢easer talk鈥� with no questions, to give a very short overview of your project and to attract people to visit your poster.
Registration:
Registration includes attendance at all sessions, as well as coffee and lunch on May 7, 2025.
