The Graduate Student Symposium, which we call the GSS, is an annual event hosted and presented by CMS graduate students to showcase preliminary results of their research to peers and CMS community. Like most events in the time of COVID, the usual day-long event was modified to meet the 国产短视频criteria to keep everyone safe. In past years, faculty members are recruited as judges to evaluate presentations and choose a winner for each of the three categories of best oral presentation with results, proposed research presentation, and best poster.
The symposium showcased new faces at CMS, including master鈥檚 student Claire Onak and PhD student Jill Thompson-Grim, both of whom highlighted work done in previous programs.
鈥淚 wanted to present as a way to introduce myself to the faculty and students at CMS, as I haven't had the opportunity to meet many people outside of our core courses and my lab group due to the pandemic,鈥� said Onak. 鈥淚 also thought it would be valuable to gain more experience in communicating my science in order to become a better public speaker.鈥�
Here鈥檚 the roster of speakers from the event. Please enjoy the videos below.
