Want to know more about the cutting edge research going on across the Institute and celebrate inspiring research communicators? Register to attend the MIT Research Slam Showcase, a research communication competition for MIT PhD students and postdocs.

We will have 4 PhD and 5 Postdoc finalists deliver their 3-minute talks, explaining their research and its significance in an engaging way to a general audience. Support your fellow colleagues and vote for your favorite to win the Audience Choice Award! Be inspired and learn tips on how to communicate research to a broad audience. See the Research Slam website <https://researchslam.mit.edu/> for a list of finalists, talk titles and judges.
