[BIC-announce] Fwd: BIC Travel Awards Data Blitz

[Anastasia Chauny]

BIC DATA BLITZ & TRAVEL AWARDS!

When: Tuesday, May 24th, 1:00-2:00pm

Where: Grandpré Communications Centre, MNI

The Data Blitz is back! We are looking for BIC students and post-docs to
showcase their research

and practice their presentation skills in preparation for summer
conferences-- and perhaps to

earn a little cash for said conferences. The presentations will occur
during the weekly Feindel

Lecture.

The two best presenters in this competition will receive a BIC Coffee Fund
Travel Award, thanks

to everyone at the MNI who has availed themselves of the coffee machine
this year. We will be

awarding the two best presenters a sum of $500 each. Even if you aren't
presenting, you'll still

have a part to play: winners are determined by vote from the audience, so
mark your calendars!

In-progress and preliminary research is welcome. Please ask us if you are
in doubt about your

eligibility. If you are interested in presenting, please contact us no
later than one week before the

competition date.


Am I eligible?

This competition is open to Students or Post-Docs who:

1) will present research involving brain imaging data collected/methods
developed at the BIC at a

conference* in 2016.

2) are not previous recipients of the BIC Travel Award.


How can I present?

Email anastasia.sares at mail.mcgill.ca or benjamin.gold at mail.mcgill.ca with
your

name, status (PhD/Master/Post-Doc), supervisors(s) and presentation title.
The duration of the

presentations will depend on how many presenters volunteer, but will be
less than 15 minutes.


*Winners must show proof of conference attendance in order to claim their
prizes. While multiple

members of a lab may compete, there will be only one winner per lab.
