This annual contest awards the best three-minute research presentation given by an LLNL postdoc. Postdocs learn to clearly explain the motivation, results, and significance of their research to a non-specialty audience and a panel of judges.
Our current panel of judges include:
- Kim Budil – Laboratory Director
- Sandra Brereton – Associate Deputy Director, Operations
- Doug Rotman – Director, Laboratory Directed Research and Development
- Dustin Riggs – Chief Protocol Officer
- Alan Wan – Executive Director, University of California National Laboratory Programs
The top three finalists will be invited to compete in the Bay Area Research SLAM! with winners from LBNL, SLAC, and SNL, on Thursday, October 5 @ 3:00 PM
