Dear Postdocs,

Please check out Project Bridge
<http://www.ucdenver.edu/faculty-staff/postdoctoral/ucdpostdoctoralassociation/outreach/projectbridge/Pages/projectbridge.aspx>'s
upcoming Gong Show event to present your research at *Ratio Beerworks on
Sunday, April 8th, 2-4 PM.*  We also have one confirmed "celebrity" guest,
Nederland Mayor Kristopher Larson!

The goal is to present your research in a fun, improvised, jargon-free, 3
minute talk to the public. During the talk, audience members will have
noisemakers, which they can use to let you know you are using too much
jargon!

If you are interested in speaking, please fill out our form here
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScN3VytOkawYUVaB1-Vj3OzbbgtYMrvAdZuMp-jvgzmuIk-ig/viewform>
.

*FORMAT*:
- Present your research to non-scientists in a way that is exciting and
educational.
- 3 minute presentations
- No slides (you are welcome to bring props)
- Jargon is ok as long as it is necessary and you define it well. Use too
much jargon or go off on a tangent or the audience will use their
noisemakers to Gong you!

We hope to see you there!
