Postdoc Appreciation Week
UCSF's annual Postdoc Slam competition challenges postdocs to give a compelling presentation of their research in three minutes or less, using language that not only their peers but also non-specialists will understand. The competition incentivizes postdocs to clarify their ideas and help others understand and appreciate their work.
The 2024 Postdoc Slam contest will take place on Wednesday, September 18, 4-6pm, at the UCSF Mission Bay campus in Genentech Hall Auditorium. The event will also be live-streamed to remote viewers.
This year, among the ten finalists are two Gladstone postdocs, Alicer Andrew and Jeremy Ford, who will show off their science communication skills while competing for cash prizes. Attend in person or via livestream to show them your support! No advance registration is necessary.

Since 2009, the National Postdoc Association recognizes and raises awareness of the contributions that postdocs make to scientific research and discovery. Each year, Postdoctoral and Graduate Student Education and Research Development Affairs, and the Gladstone Postdoctoral Advisory Committee (GPAC), organize a week of activities to celebrate and support Gladstone’s postdoc community. This year, activities focus on making in-person connections, by meeting faces both new and old.
